Trans sportswriter and Australian Defence Force member Cate McGregor has provided probably the most reasonable and moving response to the very heated debate currently surrounding Margaret Court and her appallingly homophobic views. 
Speaking to ABC‘s The Drum tonight, McGregor suggested that by “piling on” to Court, the LGBTQI community and their allies were making a martyr of her, calling it “a strategic mistake”.
However, she also had some powerful words in response to Court’s comments on trans issues, calling her remarks about parents of trans children “nonsense“.

“I know a lot of families with young kids who are grappling with gender issues. Those kids are loved to bits. Those parents only want two things. They want their child to be happy, and primarily they want them to not kill themselves.“
Her measured response, which covers Court’s hypocrisy in suggesting that the gay community grooms children for sex (“Coming from a Christian clergywoman in the current climate, if anyone’s forfeited their moral authority in this domain it has to be the Australian Christian churches“), whether her name should be stripped from the Arena (“Airbrushing a great player out of Australia’s sporting history by removing her name from that arena would be a mistake“) and the importance of maintaining dignity and moral fibre in the face of bigotry, struck a chord with viewers. 

Watch the full segment below. It’s well worth your time.
