I didn't read this whole topic but from the fight it just looked like her opponent was bad and her opponents record is 2-3, in the fight before this one another woman knocked her out and in the fight after another woman choked her out

I dont think they were all born as men

This is from 2014

And injuries of this nature are common in fighting sports like MMA

Stop trying to use these extremely rare events as an excuse to validate your hatred of trans women

Fracturing someone's skull is not common.
You should read "The Punch : One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball" for some insight into how horrifying an injury like that can be for all parties involved.
If a sport routinely resulted in such a grave injury, it would not be permitted.

yeah but in reality what happened is she broke the other girls orbital bone, which IS a fairly common and not very dangerous injury

I'm not watching a long commercial. Skip to the part where it says women are equally as physically capable as men.


*sigh*

You might as well have replied LALALALALA CANT HEAR YOU!


What? If you yourself watched it, then you would know which part says that, right? Why are you cowering so easily?


- I recalled the video and specific hashtag from the past.
- I took the effort to go to YouTube and look for it to show you what I am talking about
- its a short video, its not like its 10 minutes or something

You: not watching! LOL!!! Hahahaa Y U cower bro? Sony always wins baby!

So, how do you feel about this?

- UFC fights
- more granular weight classes
- men and women in the same division but groin strikes are allowed

So you could see fighting somebody like Ronda (before she retired) or Holly Holm fighting a guy, but the guy has to weight the same or less, but the guy can be kicked/kneed in the groin too. Women too, but it is nowhere near as devastating lol.

Fair?

Gonna assume you meant MTF on that one, but here's the thing. You say "to a comical degree". I'm really hoping you have support on that. Of course, we hear about it when a transwoman wins a sports competition, because it means we start the argument again. Nobody ever reports in the news about transwomen not winning a competition.

The question at that point is: are the people running the sporting event taking into account the history of the transwoman? Take the recent cycling competition which the Canadian transwoman won. She had to go through a series of testosterone blocking treatments before she was allowed to compete. Prior to her win, she lost in similar cycling competitions eleven times to a woman she finally ended up beating. At that point, can you really say she had a "natural physiological advantage"?

Also, the Olympics have their own rules on allowing transgender people to compete as well, in the interest of fairness.

The fact that there are so many people who rush to the conclusion of "a man in a wig beating women" is what gets my goat about the argument. They just assume that there are no preparations or accommodations made and that no one thinks before putting a transwoman in their sports competition.


Good post, I also find it weird that a lot of people say stuff along the lines of "Science says this person is a man!" but don't pay any mind to the science these athletic commissions use to determine if a person is fit to compete in a certain division or event.

Well, we have to consider potential advantage when segregating competitions for the sake of fairness. That's why men and women sports have typically been separated in the first place, not to mention more granular systems like weight divisions.

That's a dumb point to bring up, that no one complains when transwomen lose. Duh. If you lose with an advantage, no one cares. If you win, well you had the advantage. So now everyone's looking at that to see if it's unfair or not.

And that one guy who tried to say separate by weight, allow both genders, and allow groin hits...no. A man at 130lbs is Floyd Mayweather (for example) who knocks out men at that weight. He will demolish any woman in a fight and it'd be spectacularly gruesome.

You can't let women and men fight or no women would ever be in the sport as they'd die immediately (not literally, except on a few occasions).

Same thing should be done for Trans. If you were born a man, you don't fight women. They've determined that's unfair already.

But transgender athletes typically compete in their 'new' sex if they've undergone sex reassignment surgery and, for MtF, if their testosterone levels are low enough

Athletic commissions using bad metrics doesn't provide scientific validation. It's always hilarious when SJWs think science is in their side.

99% of evidence points to chromosomes. Then one fringe study says "but some trans people have brains similar to biological males." Oh yeah? Guess what standard they use when comparing to biological males.

I dont think non-medical people should be giving their opinion as 100% correct.

Theres intersex people as well with genetic mutations that isnt cut and dry male/female even if you ignore the trans issue.

Obviously there is a difference between your average male and female athlete and it should be up to medical doctors to determine a criteria that allows fair play.

Naturally born female mma fighters need to all agree to just refuse to fight trans fighters. Yeah the trans fighters will "win" by forfeit, but nobody wants to pay to watch people forfeit fights, and then UFC/etc WILL separate them if everyone just keeps forfeiting every match and not allowing these trans fighters to actually fight.

It would be awesome if there were enough trans fighters to give them their own division.


Umm, pretty sure MMA fighters can turn down fights for any reason. Not necessarily a great career move but I think their contracts allow for them to choose not to face an opponent they don't want to face.

@OctilIery

I was slightly mistaken. It was cycling, not track and field. (Fun fact: It's really difficult to find the right article when you have the wrong sport, lol)

https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/latest-news/rachel-mckinnon-becomes-first-transgender-woman-win-track-world-title-397473

A couple key quotes:

Rachel McKinnon has entered the history books as the first transgender woman to win a cycling world title.

McKinnon, who races both on the track and the road, won the womens 35-44 sprint during the UCI Masters Track Cycling World Championships in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Dr Rachel McKinnon was born a biological male but identifies as a trans woman and is a campaigner for trans rights.

Replying to a tweet by Katie Hopkins, runner up Jennifer Wagner said: I was the third place rider.

Its definitely not fair.

McKinnon added that Wagner had beaten her in 10 of their last 12 races, including the 500-metre time trial earlier in the week.

Transgender athletes have been allowed to compete in the Olympics since 2004 but under the requirement they had undergone gender confirmation surgery and been on hormone therapy for two years.

In 2015, these rules were relaxed to remove the need for surgery and the athletes must have a testosterone level below a certain limit for at least 12 months prior to their first competition.

Of course, in fairness, the specific regulations that are to be followed for MtF transgender people participating in competition are still very much up for debate. After all, in the same article it mentions that the permissible amount of testosterone will be halved for the 2020 Olympics.

Awesome, thank you very much! I'm glad to hear they're working on it because I don't want them banned entirely, I just want a fair playing field.

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.

Anyone that thinks trans women should be competing against women is to blinded by idealogy to have a rational discussion with

Also notice it's never trans men fighting men.

The fact is contrary to idealogy the sexes are different.

I don't think it's automatically case that transwomen should never be permitted to compete against ciswomen, so long as regulations are in place to regulate fairness.

The better solution is to recognize that segregating sports through such a simple metric is perhaps not the best method in the first place.


Yep. I am in agreement with this. But also don't support the anti-science radicals that keep trying to say physiology isn't impacted by sex. Which requires some serious disconnects from reality.

We could probably use some of the regulations put in place to restrict transgender participation as a baseline for such a system as well, along with regulations seen in other sports (such as weight divisions).

Theres no case for them competing against each other

Like it not the two sexes are different. Men are physically stronger than women 99.99% "of the time. Playing dress up, taking some pills that would otherwise disqualify you but we don't want to offend trans folks, and fighting actual women and calling it fair, is bullshit

I refuse to use the term " cis"

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
