Re: Hot MMA Fighter Comes Out as Transsexual
It should be noted that there genetic males often possess some evolutionary advantages over genetic females of similar size and strength. Take throwing, for example:

Of course, that was never true in my case. Almost every girl I knew could throw WAY better than me! lol

Re: Hot MMA Fighter Comes Out as Transsexual
I've been reading people's comments on this story...It seems like being politically correct has gone out of the window and folks are saying how they really feel. There are people who are outraged about this situation. And I'm inclined to agree. I'm sorry to say, people can say whatever they want about hormones, but this isn't acceptable. People can cry and moan, but this simply crosses the line. Sorry if that hurts anyone's feelings, but sometimes the truth hurts.

Re: Hot MMA Fighter Comes Out as Transsexual
All people have opinions, but not all are educated. Global warming and evolution are also debates in the public sphere, but this does not affect their status as facts. This is why not one doctor or scientist has come out saying she has an unfair advantage against non-trans women, while many have offered their support and attempted (obviously unsuccessfully, as you've shown here) to educate the ignorant.

Re: Hot MMA Fighter Comes Out as Transsexual
If people feel that Fallon is still a man, and that she's beating up women they will take offense. Simple as that. I'm still not certain what to think, the whole situation is confusing to be honest. I actually would like to hear what a doctor or scientist would have to say, but on first glance this doesn't look good. If a doctor says that Fallon has no physical advantages over a genetic female, people are still going to take offense and call it BS. Because like I said before, on first glance it sure doesn't look that way. And if a doctor says she does have an advantage, then certain people will quickly label the doctor as a "Bigot" or "Ignorant" or "Bully" or something along those lines.
I'm sorry but this is one is kind of common sense. I mean are you seriously going to sit there, and say Fallon is weaker than these girls she's fighting? I understand playing the victim and all, but seriously?
