Tennis legend Martina Navratilova called out the United States Tennis Association (USTA)’s transgender inclusion policy early Sunday morning in response to another post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Navratilova responded to a post from Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) founder Kim Shasby Jones who wrote that "women’s tennis is turning into a laughing stock because of these terrible policies prioritizing the mental health and identity of men over women who have discovered a love of tennis."

"Come on @USTA- women’s tennis is not for failed male athletes- whatever age," Navratilova wrote on X. "This is not right and it is not fair. Would this be allowed at the US Open this month? Just with self ID? I don’t think so…"

Shasby Jones wrote that women were calling her organization to complain about the lack of fair play when it comes to transgender athletes’ inclusion in women’s sports.

"Men are winning national titles, taking the place of women on team tennis, and competing in women’s tournaments across the country," Shasby Jones added.

"We need to let the women and girls playing tennis know that they deserve to be treated fairly and recognized for their accomplishments no matter when they pick up the sport. They do not have to reach any kind of elite status," she continued.

"There is already a category for male athletes to enjoy this privilege. Let female athletes enjoy the game of tennis too."

"Change the policy and @BillieJeanKing change your stance - don’t abandon these women and this sport any longer."
