A Woman in a Man’s World :
- Being a female reporter in what is considered a man’s world, she has copped a lot of criticism. The criticism even went so far as to label her ‘trans’ in 2012.
- The public forum Transtastic had a public thread in 2012 where they listed reasons why they believed Tanya was born a man & with many of the contributors stating that it was her manliness that got her ahead in the sports reporting world.
- The accusation of being transgender has been actively denied, and her management team responded to the statements by laughing, as there is medical evidence that she gave birth to her two sons.
- Although Tanya has never publicly commented on this issue, she has spoken out about her desire to succeed in this industry.
