What she (Martina) describes as a pursuit of “equality” is yet another mechanism of exclusion – this time targeting trans women in sports. Myth 2: Trans Women Will Displace Cis Women from TournamentsClaim: Including trans women “blocks” cis women from competing. Myth 4: Trans Women Are “Cheating” by Exploiting Physiological AdvantageClaim: Martina Navratilova labeled trans women “cheats.”Evaluation: This language is stigmatising.
