Trans women are a scratching post for misogynists who fantasise about treating cis women the same way - publicly.

Martina Navratilova just cannot help herself, first she celebrates that a trans woman has died and then with no evidence labels her an abuser and murderer of women. This is what being already bigoted and subsequently radicalised looks like

Martina Navratilova’s tweet in response to the news a trans woman had committed suicide “Seems to me this world is better off now without this man in it... some fantasies...”

Martina Navratilova’s tweet in response to being accused of celebrating the news that a trans woman had committed suicide where she, without evidence, claims said trans woman was a threat to women’s safety including murder “I didn't celebrate someone's death. I was however relieved that that person couldn't harm or kill any more women. And to all those haters who are now going after my wife on Instagram- you can just shove it. Shame on you.”
