Well, the @ACLU, thanks mainly to Chase Strangio, has really gone sideways when it comes to sports and trans women competing- they will only accept full inclusion for trans women to compete, no mitigation, only self ID necessary. How crazy is that? Yup, this crazy.
"This is crazy" - Navratilova slams ACLU over it's stance on transgender people and sports

Martina Navratilova took to social media to once again lash out at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for its stance on transgender people competing in sports.
The ACLU is a nonprofit organization founded in 1920 to "defend and preserve" the individual rights and liberties of American citizens. On Sunday, the 65-year-old tweeted her surprise at being blocked on Twitter by Gillian Branstetter, a woman who works in Comms Strategy for the ACLU, according to her bio.
"Why would I be blocked by this woman? I have no clue...." tweeted Navratilova.
In a subsequent conversation thread, she said that the ACLU has "gone sideways" in its eagerness to allow transgender people to compete in sports without batting an eyelid. She further stated that the person responsible for this was Chase Strangio, a lawyer and transgender rights activist who also serves as the Deputy Director for Transgender Justice and a staff attorney with ACLU.
"Well, the ACLU, thanks mainly to Chase Strangio, has really gone sideways when it comes to sports and trans women competing- they will only accept full inclusion for trans women to compete, no mitigation, only self ID necessary. How crazy is that? Yup, this crazy," she said.
