Martina Navratilova spars after being questioned for opposing males in women's spaces while supporting Dems

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova engaged in a social media exchange with comedian Lou Perez over her support for Democrats despite opposing transgender access to women's spaces.

"To say this is wrong is an understatement," Navratilova wrote in response.

"You voted for this," Perez wrote. 

Navratilova responded, writing, "I voted against totalitarianism- nice try." 

Perez then responded with a screenshot of Navratilova's own X bio, which reads, "voting blue despite the Dems stance on women's sex based spaces."

Navratilova confessed, "I agree with the Dems on just about every single issue but one- while I strongly disagree with Trump and his sycophants on every single issue but one. Ok?!?"

Perez then invited the tennis legend to his upcoming comedy show, to which Navratilova has not responded at the time of publication. 

Navratilova has been a polarizing figure on social media for her conflicted support for liberals and opposition of Trump, as she regularly slams Democrats for allowing biological males in women's sports.

Last December, she said she was "mad" that Republicans have tackled the nationwide controversy of trans athletes in women's sports, instead of the Democrats. 

The tennis legend appeared at the Independent Women's Forum's "Take Back Title IX" rally in June to address the issue.

"Now, it's, 'Oh, you're a homophobe.' Go figure. I've been out since '81, yeah, I'm a homophobe," she said, rolling her eyes. "'You're a bigot, you're a transphobe, you're a Nazi, you're a fascist, you're a communist,' everything and everything in between. And this is coming from the left. I am the left! My people are turning on me. They're turning on us, women, who speak up for women's sex-based rights."
