Billie Jean King emphasizes the importance of listening to the trans community, especially as sporting bodies increasingly seek to exclude trans individuals from participation. King expresses concern for the challenges faced by trans people, advocating for their inclusion in sports. She has consistently supported LGBTQ+ rights and joined over 170 athletes in endorsing trans girls and women in sports. King firmly states that discrimination has no place in sports and believes the athletic community strengthens by embracing all athletes, particularly LGBTQI+ individuals.
I don't think people have any idea of how hard it is for trans people. Just listen to their stories. Listen - not tell them.
There is no place in any sport for discrimination of any kind. I'm proud to support all transgender athletes who simply want the access and opportunity to compete in the sport they love.
The global athletic community grows stronger when we welcome and champion all athletes - including LGBTQI+ athletes.
With every person I meet, I try to start with a blank. Ask questions.
