I read a Glenn Greenwald article recently about how he backed away from doing a biopic of his childhood hero Martina Navratilova because of her stance on playing against men. Her coach, a TIM since the 60’s said that playing against women wouldn't be fair and they'd wipe the court against the best women in the world.

So despite being an LGBT advocate for all her life, Martina got cancelled.

Cyclepath can't let go of that article, he feels slighted and the author brushed him off quickly (and now isn't responding to his tweets anymore).

I remember reading about her recently too. I wish more people knew about what happened to Martina.

Martina was the most beautiful role model to lesbians in the eighties. She was so strong in herself.
