.Caitlyn_Jenner rips Martina Navratilova over tweet shading interview with Lance Armstrong on trans athletes
Caitlyn Jenner fired back aton Twitter Wednesday just days after the 18-time Grand Slam champion called out Lance Armstrong over his recent interview with Jenner where they discussed transgender athletes' participation in sports.
Jenner, who has publicly spoken out against transgender females competing in women’s sports, said during the interview published Monday that trans females competing in women’s sports puts women in"a very uncomfortable position." "I’ve been very clear from the beginning – I am all about fairness, not equity," Jenner said."Sports has to be fair. I want to protect women. I want to protect women’s spaces in sports. It puts women in a very uncomfortable position."
However, Navratilova, who has similarly shared her opposition to trans participation, took issue with the interview.
