Remember when Venus Williams said, “I’m not playing with a man,” when she lost her game to a trans woman

The news that received a lot of attention on the network, the moment when Venus Williams said some unexpected words for her opponent: I’m not playing with a man.

So when Venus took a stand and refused to play a game against Joe “Josepheena” LaBarron of France, she made a huge statement:

“I’m not trying to be the next Billie Jean King,” she said, “I’ll play any man for charity or for fun, but this is my livelihood.”

Venus says she’s never lost a competition to a man because she’s never played one before, and doesn’t intend to start now.
