‘Surely You Know What A Woman Is’: Tennis Legend Slams Attack On Females Over New Gender Law

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova slammed the efforts to remove two German female politicians who are the only women who voted against that country’s new “radical gender self-identification law.”

“This is so f***ed up! Come on Germany!” Navratilova wrote on X about the news. “Surely you know what a woman is? You know?”

“Like the woman who birthed each and every one of you?” she added. “That was a woman. And only a woman can do that. And now you punish women who speak the truth? Ok…”

Navratilova’s comments were in response to a post by Reduxx magazine regarding, “Two female politicians” who are “facing removal from parliament after voting against the nation’s radical gender self-identification law. Katja Adler and Linda Teuteberg, members of the @fdp, opposed the law on the basis it would put women at risk.”

The article focused on how Adler and Teuteberg, part of Germany’s Free Democratic Party (FDP), voted against the law that would allow a person to simply change their gender and name with the registry. In addition, a massive fine of thousands of dollars will be implemented against those who reveal that person’s biological gender and name.

This is so fucked up! Come on Germany! Surely you know what a woman is? You know? Like the woman who birthed each and every one of you? That was a woman. And only a woman can do that. And now you punish women who speak the truth? Ok… https://t.co/uT7yCnKela

In response to the law, Adler said the law would result in women having fewer rights to single-sex spaces, and that “it contradicted with the German Constitution’s guarantee that ‘men and women have equal rights,'” the outlet noted.

She also argued that the “clause would be rendered unenforceable if men were capable of declaring themselves ‘women’ at any time,” the outlet noted.

Adler has already been dismissed from the party in her federal state and lost her place on the voting list, which would have guaranteed her return to the parliament, the outlet noted.

Teuteberg also could be replaced by the party and prevented from representing her state due to her criticism of the law, as the FDP seeks to replace her. 

The tennis legend has been very outspoken about trans-identifying males competing in female sports. She recently slammed the Democrat Party for giving the transgender athlete issue to Republicans as an issue.

“And I am so mad that the Republicans captured this issue — shame on all the elected Democrats who keep silent on this!!! #whataboutthewomen,” Navratilova wrote.
