Transgender fighter Fallon Fox's MMA license under review

Quote :

As for fighting in the UFC, Dana White tells us to
fight in the UFC ... Fox would have to get the green light from the
state athletic commission. But he also says Fox hasn't proved herself
yet ... the 2 women she's beat have never won a fight.

Dana says, "She's gotta win some real fights to even talk about the
UFC." And Dana warns, "It's not like transgenders who play golf or
baseball. UFC is a contact sport."

All females should refuse to fight her/it.

The science clearly shows there is no advantage. No one has any argument against this other than "Derp she's a dude!!" If there is I'd like to hear but it will probably just reek of homophobia

The lady she last fought said that was the strongest person she's ever fought. Also homophobia is about hating on gays. No one has said anything about her being gay or not.

Here's an article
Leading sex reassignment physicians weigh in on Fallon Fox
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2013/3/8/407 ... fallon-fox

I read the article and it’s a talk about transsexual, not
transgender. In that case, I think with the qualifications being met,
they should be treated equal as they are seen as a person everyday, and
allowed to fight.

I think it’s fine as long as there is full disclosure and
the woman is physically identifiable as a female and within the correct
hormone levels. The agreement should be between the two competing women
and their camps.

I myself would agree to a fight with a transgendered female, but I
also understand why the majority of other women feel that there would be
an unfair advantage for the transgendered.

I’m not sure what I think because I don’t know the science about the hormones of a transgender. Iwouldn’t
like to speak on behalf of what I know nothing about. It would seem
like a guy trying to fight in a woman’s division, but without knowing
the whole story, I couldn’t tell you what I really think. All I can say
is any woman who would take a fight with a transgender is very brave.

I don’t think that it is right because no matter the sex change, it
is still a man and has a far greater advantage…. But if an opponent
agrees to fight, then it is ok. I don’t think a lot of women would if
they knew….

Honestly, I’m still forming an opinion about this. After reading
up on transgender operations and post-operative follow-up, and also
watching and reading videos and articles from Fallon Fox herself, I feel
like even though hormonally there may not still be an advantage, but
physically there is the issue of the anatomical and physiological
developments that she had developed prior to her decision to switch her
gender.
This physiology, (namely the way that the bones attach themselves in
the skeletal make-up of a man vs. a woman) may give her an unfair
advantage in an MMA fight against a naturally born woman. However, I do
have to wonder if Fallon Fox were losing to the women she fought versus
dominating them, if this would still be such an issue.

On a personal level, I have zero issues with transgender
people, but I do feel transgender female fighters may have unfair
advantages over those who were born female. Attributes like bone
density, spacial awareness and possible residual male muscle mass.

I also disagree with the lack of disclosure on the issue. Opponents
should have a choice as to whether or not they want to take the fight.
In the future, with full disclosure, maybe transgender female fighters
can be licensed, but their opponent must be fully informed in order to
allow them to make the best decision.

I don’t have anything against transgendered women, but I
do feel like the strength between a man and a woman is very different.
That being said, it really depends on how long she has been taking
estrogen. Bottom line, in my opinion, is it would be up to her
opponent.

The way I see it, Fallon Fox to me is a beginning of a
good thing. She’s giving hope to male transgenders and vice versa with
the same desires to participate. But the ways she’s gone about starting
in the sport isn’t something I agree with. NOT RIGHT in so many
senses.

I suggest that equal opportunity is presented to transgenders in
having their own bouts. Equality, so to speak, and a win/win for all.
For her to compete against females in MMA, even if she’s taking female
hormones, it’s still not common sense, nor does it make it right. No. I
don’t agree.

I really don’t agree with it, considering the hormonal differences that we have. You also can’t lie on your app.

Structurally, men are built differently from women. [I
have] No problem with people wanting to switch genders, but physically
she is still a he, minus the special part.

Judging it at “good or bad,” it’s happening. So we have
to embrace it with pure curiosity and do a little research. The way I
see it, if I were to fight a transgender, it would influence me to train
smarter, not harder, and to maintain an open mind on the offense,
defense, and anything in-between. But mostly, I’m gonna do my thing, no
matter who they put in front of me.

If you were born a man, then you should fight as a man. Period.

Real women have the ability to carry children. Does Mr. Fox? If the answer is no, he shouldn't fight. If the answer is yes, then whatever have at it.

If this is how the Mma community feels then why is this even being debated?

Oh that's right we live in a nation full of politically correct liberals and its hip to go against everything our founding fathers built this country on.
