Serena Williams is keeping perspective following her highly publicized return to the Wimbledon Championships despite seeing her singles comeback cut short.

After falling in the opening round to rising star Maya Joint, the tennis icon took to Instagram to share a heartfelt reflection on the moment, celebrating the opportunity to return to the grass courts once again. She shared on her Instagram that:

“It felt so good to be back on the grass at @wimbledon. I’m incredibly thankful for the wild card”

    Whiterena, you really thought you and your blonde hair, and skinny, glp-1, white lady body would get you to the top again? Well, girl, I didnt. Of course you’re a little older now, but a huge part of the magic you had came from the hips, thighs, a s s, and bangin black girl body you had that gave you the power to crush them heaux to powder on the reg, the very same body and power you willingly gave up to shape shift into your version of one of the women from your husband’s race. How tragic. Transwhitewomanism doesn’t work. I hope you see.
