Transgender woman wants to fight in women's MMA

Should it be allowed? seeing as she's basically a man

"I don't believe a transgender fighter should have to disclose her personal medical history to other female fighters before they fight," she said. "It's simply for the reason the medical community and the scientific community have come to the consensus that post-operative transsexual fighters who have been on hormone-replacement therapy and testosterone suppression, when they're going from male to female, haven't been found to have any physiological advantages over other women.

"So why should we have to disclose our personal medical history?"

She's had two fights, both knock-outs with in 2 minutes

She is a woman and should be allowed to compete as one. Especially post-op it should be a no-brainer, but I guess having no brain is rampant in the ranks of hxf membership

But is it fair on the other opponents? Her body was developed as a male and is no doubt stronger than any female she will fight.

'She' is a man. No.

If that's the way you want to call it then only people of the exact same size, weight, muscle proportion and distribution should be allowed to compete with one another. Also you're being totally ridiculous if you truly believe that all males are stronger than all females just for the way they're born

Males have a higher bone density than females.

Since she's on HRT and has had her testosterone suppressed then I don't see what advantage she could possibly have over the other competitors. Bone density differs between race and diet too so that can't really be used against her.

There's no debate. She is a man.

Being a bigot and repeating yourself doesn't make you right. You haven't presented any argument at all other than a basic lie, since a trans person's past doesn't dictate who/what they are now
