Transgender activist India Willoughby recently made one of the most absurd claims in recent history, and given all of the stuff we’re pummeled by each and every day, that’s really saying something. Willoughby, a biological male identifying as a woman, claimed to be “more female” than biological female tennis star Martina Navratilova, who promptly fired back with a volley of her own.
Is that not the most insane comment? How can someone who is not a woman in any biological sense claim to more female than an actual, legitimate woman? This clown show has gone on for long enough. Just stop the ride and let me off already.
According to The Daily Wire, the feud between the two kicked off when Navratilova stood up for her own use of the phrase, “trans-identifying male” in order to describe an individual who identified as a transgender female.
“Trans identifying males is not a transphobic buzz phrase … but rather a biological fact,” she posted on Twitter. “Also it makes it much easier to understand who is who and how they started. Where they end up can change, but biology doesn’t change. Ever.”

Willoughby was apparently deeply offended by the application of logic, common sense, and basic scientific fact, going on to state that the legal system was in agreement with the transgender activist and launching an accusation at Navratilova for intentionally using “transphobic” language. Yes, that’s right. If you dare to refer to a transgender individual as anything other than their preferred pronouns, you’re going to be in big, big trouble.
“Calling someone a ‘trans identified male’ rather than simply a woman is about as transphobic as it gets,” Willoughby stated in response to Navratilova. “She knows what she’s doing and so do you. Navratilova is also wrong. Someone who transitions is factually and legally a biological female.”

Biology absolutely changes. My body chemistry is more female than Martina’s. My anatomy is female. The fact Martina and other bigots refuse to acknowledge me or any woman who happens to be trans is deeply offensive. If it sticks in her craw so much, she shouldn’t be commentating.

And here’s where the crazy comes in, folks.
“Biology absolutely changes. My body chemistry is more female than Martina’s. My anatomy is female. The fact Martina and other bigots refuse to acknowledge me or any woman who happens to be trans is deeply offensive. If it sticks in her craw so much, she shouldn’t be commentating,” Willoughby added.
The question that Willoughby needs to answer is whether or not surgeries and hormone therapies can alter the chromosomes contained in a person’s DNA? The answer, of course, is no. They most certainly cannot change an individual’s chromosomes. Therefore, no matter what, a person with XY chromosomes will forever be a biological male. That is a fact no up for dispute. Accept it.
Navratilova shot back at Willoughby’s claim by replying, “India never was, and never will be, female.”
Amen! Hallelujah! Preach on, sister!
India never was, and never will be, female. https://t.co/Igy3mXzLwF

It should be noted that Navratilova is not the first person that Willoughby has attacked. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has also been found in the activist’s sights. Willoughby also slammed BBC Sport head honcho Philip Bernie, stating he was “condoning” bigotry by allowing Navratilova to make comments on the network.
“The NHS – actual doctors – recognise me. They’re not confused. So why can’t Martina Navratilova? It’s bigotry and prejudice. By using Martina (and Sharron Davies) you are condoning it and disregarding the trans and LGBT+ community @PhilipBernie1. Be more Harry Kane,” Willoughby remarked.
