I had to decide whether to put this here or in politics but either way it's unbelievable. A man posing as a woman is being allowed to beat the crap out of women as a Mixed Martial Arts fighter:

From an opponent who suffered a broken orbit while getting TKO'd in the first round:

“I’ve fought a lot of women and have never felt the strength that I felt in a fight as I did that night. I can’t answer whether it’s because she was born a man or not because I’m not a doctor. I can only say, I’ve never felt so overpowered ever in my life and I am an abnormally strong female in my own right,” she stated. “Her grip was different, I could usually move around in the clinch against other females but couldn’t move at all in Fox’s clinch…

What gets me is this quote from the linked article:

Tamikka Brents may have some first-hand evidence to suggest that she’s at a disadvantage competing against transgender women, but since Fallon Fox is the only prominent trans female fighter in MMA, the sample size is still too small to draw any real conclusions.

Do y'all think that's serious or do you think that's some kind of satire site like The Onion or something?

I think it's real because I have heard Rogan talking about this on his podcast in the past. This is complete fucking bullshit too. I don't give a fuck what any gay, transgender, whatever type supporter wants to say that this is OK is fucked in the head. This should not be allowed. That shit is dangerous enough but letting some cheat to make things more dangerous is just simply fucked.

A response from Fallon Fox....

It seems like he tries to hit on most of what Rogan said but it's not really a good job of counteracting it. If he were a true woman and had taken the amount of Testosterone he naturally "used" as a male then he'd by far have been out of the sport for using roids. Now of course he's taking estrogen now so does that take away and level the playing field some? It does, however there are residual gains that someone that has took steroids will always have over someone that did not. In other words you don't come all the way back down to the level you were at prior as far as muscle strength, healing, etc.

His response not withstanding, he is at an advantage although he's trying to get rid of it he still has it.

Until there is a transgender division you shouldn't be allowed to do this. If anything, fight men of your weight so there is no doubt you don't have the advantage that is obvious to most between men & women.

I do think Rousey would fuck him up pretty good though.
