Former tennis player Margaret Court has expressed more anti-LGBT views ahead of her return to the Australian Open. The former Australian tennis legend, who has faced controversy for likening gay people to Hitler and claiming lesbian tennis players recruit younger athletes, has decided to turn her fire on transgender children. Margaret Court says transgender kids are of the devil In a sermon at Victory Life Centre in Perth on Sunday, she said: I can go on television and say this is what the Bible says, and its like opening a can of worms. Youd think I let a torpedo off or something, because they hate the word of God. That LGBT in the schools, its of the devil, its not of God you know, when children are making the decision at seven or eight years of age to change their sex. Just read the first two chapters of Genesis, thats all I say. God made male and female. Its so wrong at that age because a lot of things are planted in this thought realm at that age, and they start to question, what am I?'

She added: You know, with that GBT, theyll wish they never put the T on the end of it, because particularly in womens sports, theyre going to have so many problems. You have got young people taking hormones and having changes, by the time they are 17 they are thinking, Now Im a boy and really I was a girl. Court went on to apparently call for gay people to overcome their sexuality. She said: Even with the gay side of things, youve got gay marriage, but theyve still got a conscience. On Christmas Day I had somebody call and start to talk to me these things are happening, and its our conscience. There will be people in here who are perhaps dabbling in things and struggling, but whats impossible to man is possible to God. Its overcoming, its temporal, its subject to change. The comments come ahead of Courts return to the Australian Open in January to mark 50 years since her 1970 Grand Slam victory. Tennis Australia invited Court to attend the event as a special guest after she hit out at her exclusion. The body said: Tennis Australia respects Margarets unmatched tennis career and welcomes her to the Australian Open, particularly in this milestone anniversary year.

She'll be meeting the devil herself any day now.

You know, I'm pretty sure the Bible doesn't say anything about transgenderism. Even citing Genesis is a stretch, because there's a shitload of stuff that we know for a fact exists (like the New World, Australia, Europe, etc) which the Bible never mentions.

that's the usual deflection you see from theists on this topic.

their fucking shitty holy bible condemns transgender people (by implication). deuteronomy says

A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.

mostly because Tennis Australia has her name on one of their facilities, and doesn't seem particularly upset at these comments.

Maybe the wildfires have made her go satanic.

Hail Satan!

If i looked like Al Pacino was wearing my face but hadn't quite cut the eyeholes out properly, i'd probably be mad at the world too.

Satan said trans rights.
