That's a dumb point to bring up, that no one complains when transwomen lose.

I think it's an important thing to remind ourselves of, given that there's a perception that the moment transwomen step into the competition they immediately dominate everything without question.

Transitioning enables them to succeed more than they would with men, it doesnt mean they win everything. For example,
I was average at the mens D1 college tennis level. If I claimed to be trans and played women, I would have completely dominated the womens college level and may have even been an ok pro, but I would still lose to top pros. On the mens pro tour I would get thrashed at all levels.

Can you point to an example of a post-op transgender who has done this, though? Fallon Fox lost to a second tier at best fighter that now fights at a weight class 20 pounds lower than her. She has 5 wins -- 2 of those are against women who themselves have no wins, another is against someone who is 2-8. The best record any of her opponents have is seriously 4-3

So we're not talking about her dominating high level competition, these are seriously entry level events on the regional circuit. Maybe similar to playing A league minor baseball
