Calling an orbital fracture (a fairly common injury in MMA, what with all the face-punching going on) a "broken skull" is more than a little misleading. I'd actually go so far as to call it fearmongering. Careful you don't get blisters from clutching those pearls so hard. --- This is my signature.

More accurately: Allowing trans people to compete as their target gender has been a thing for well over a decade now, and the fears about trans athletes "dominating the competition" don't seem to have come to fruition. The absolute worst example anyone can find relies on completely misrepresenting the facts of the case (an orbital fracture is no more "breaking her skull" than a broken nose would be), and even then, Fox didn't perform better than anyone else. In theory, yeah, it's an issue. In practice, there hasn't been a real problem yet, despite plenty of opportunities. That means the most (really, only) sensible approach is to relax and let the cards fall where they will. Those making these decisions are keeping a careful eye on their ramifications, so if a problem does arise, they'll deal with it by adjusting the criteria (even now, there are requirements for hormone levels that have to be met, which can be tweaked very easily as needed). In the mean time, this fearmongering about having cis women pushed completely out of sports by trans women (mostly coming from people that couldn't have cared less about women's sports because they became an opportunity to dunk on trans people) is both baseless and pointless.
