The Epoch Times: Australian Open CEO Calls for Transgender Athletes in Women's World Tennis
Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley supports transgender athletes inclusion in women’s tennis, calling on the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) to allow them to compete at elite levels. Tiley highlighted Tennis Australia's core values of inclusivity, diversity, and equality, adding that the sport has been grappling with this issue for some time.
However, some organizations, such as Women’s Forum Australia, oppose his stance as they believe it will encroach on women's rights. Martina Navratilova, a former professional tennis player, also spoke out against Tiley's stance, claiming that the inclusion of trans-identified males in the female category makes biological females lose a spot. The inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports comes amid a wider push to break down gender separations.
