Billie Jean King, the famed tennis player who beat Bobby Riggs in the 1973 “Battle of the Sexes,” has joined several LGBT athletes demanding that the state of Idaho be punished for the recent law requiring transgender athletes to compete in sports corresponding to their biological sex.
“Lesbian athletes, including tennis legend Billie Jean King and World Cup champion Megan Rapinoe, were among the 176 women who signed a legal brief submitted to a federal appeals court Monday calling on judges to overturn an Idaho law barring transgender girls from participating in school sports,” reports the Washington Blade.
