Former tennis champion Margaret Court has reiterated her controversial opinions on the LGBTQ community and transgender athletes, claiming LGBTQ teaching in schools is controlled by "the devil
You know, even that LGBT in the schools, it's the devil, it's not of God," the 77-year-old said.
"Children are making the decision at seven or eight years of age to change their sex, no, just read the first two chapters of Genesis, that's all I say. Male and female," Court said.
"It's 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'.
"And you know with that LGBT, they'll wish they never put the T on the end of it because, particularly in women's sports, they're 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 I'm a boy and really I was a girl.'"
Court won all four majors in 1970 during an illustrious career that yielded a record 24 grand slam singles victories.
"The devil gets in and the media and the political, the education, TV -- he wants to control a nation so he can affect people's minds and mouths," Court said
Court is still the most decorated tennis player of all time with a record of 24 grand slam singles which today remains unmatched in both the men's and the women's game. Serena Williams is second on the all-time list with 23, ahead of Steffi Graf's 22
