The far-left’s trans agenda has paved the way for biological men to dominate female sports and, according to many traditional feminists, is in the process of erasing womanhood entirely.
A recent example can be found in a New York Times article describing biological women as “non-transgender,” a term that sparked intense backlash.
One prominent critic is one of history’s most dominant tennis greats, as the New York Post reported:
“NYT- you stink. We are women, NOT TRANSGENDER WOMEN. Just WOMEN will do in the future,” Navratilova wrote on the social media platform on Friday.
The Times published an article Thursday which documented the inner turmoil of a women’s college volleyball team – the San Jose State University Spartans – attempting to field a transgender female player in upcoming tournament games.
The attempt to get the trans player to compete has caused division, not only in the league, but among team members, some of whom are suing their own team.
The outlet reported, “Earlier this month, a senior co-captain of the Spartans and the assistant coach filed a lawsuit to stop the transgender athlete from playing in this week’s Mountain West Conference tournament, claiming that she violates Title IX rights to gender equity at federally funded institutions.”
The co-captain was joined by 10 female volleyball players, most of whom are on other teams that play against the Spartans. The Times described the situation as a “complicated mess,” noting that “some of the Spartans no longer talk to one another at practice or outside of games” and adding that even the head coach – who supports the trans student – “has stopped talking to some players off the court, too.”
ADVERTISEMENTThe Times reporter Juliet Macur appeared to step into the debate as well, as further down in her piece, she employed the term “non-transgender women” as one way to distinguish biological women.

Plenty of other social media users also weighed in:
Hey @nytimes, I’m not a “non-transgender woman.” I’m a woman. Adult human female. This is so insulting to the billions of women in the world. pic.twitter.com/8Gk83Mtqqc

WOW 🚨 A NEW LOW FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES
Referring to Women now as "Non-Transgender Women"
– This othering is typical of a liberal rag like this
– Another once proud publication has been completely captured by the woke ideology@JulietMacur what were you thinking? pic.twitter.com/jXdSBe9BOQ— Basil the Great (@Basil_TGMD) November 29, 2024
Imaging committing so fully to Orwellian Newspeak that you abandon the language that applies to 99% of the world in favor of new terms that elevate the 1%.
Billions of women aren’t women.
They’re reduced to simply everyone else who ISN’T that 1%.
They’re “non-transgender women.” pic.twitter.com/VW2U1oO3BZ— Natalie ♦️/ (@NatalieArgyle) November 30, 2024
Just when you thought the legacy media couldn’t go any more “woke” we have this:

The Daily Wire also reported on the pushback:
The New York Times faced a wave of backlash for a story that referred to biological females as “non-transgender women.”
The story in question, titled “How a Women’s College Volleyball Team Became the Center of the Transgender Athlete Debate,” explored the explosion of protests and forfeitures surrounding San Jose State University and the school’s star player — a trans-identifying male.
ADVERTISEMENTWhen addressing the issue of eligibility for trans-identifying players under the NCAA’s rules, the NYT published the following:
On its website, the N.C.A.A. says trans volleyball players are eligible to play if their testosterone level is less than 10 nanomoles per liter — that’s at least four times more than what many experts say is the top of the range for non-transgender women, and in the typical range for adult men.
As the article itself notes, the normal testosterone level for an adult male — which would then decrease with age — is 10-35 nanomoles per liter. And that alone could be cause for argument that a trans-identifying player still has a biological advantage over female players.
Here’s a hilarious parody of the left’s inability to define “woman”:
