    What I’m going to say has nothing to do with the Algerian boxer, she was born a woman and if we started banning athletes from the Olympics whose rare genetics gave them an advantage, there’d be no reason to watch.

    trans women are actually at a competitive disadvantage since hormone blockers also nullify the low levels of Testosterone that women produce naturally.

    That is objectively false for combat sports. Blockers do not reverse the years of effects that testosterone has on their bodies development, such as skeletal structure and bone density.

    I don’t understand this insistence on denying reality for the very niche topic of trans women competing in combat sports, it is dangerous.

    If you don’t believe me, go listen to the interviews of female MMA fighters who Fallon Fox destroyed, and I’m talking like fractured skulls.

      You just pulled the case of the single most violent form of combat sports out of your ass to justify being a discriminatory fuckwad.

      How hard is it to just stop being a fuckwad? Why do people keep insisting on making “I want to keep being a fuckwad!” their hill to die on?

      Do you get some kind of high from this dumb shit? Does it make you feel big to know that you’re just pissing all over people trying to live their lives for no reason except that ya just don’t like them for some fucking reason with no basis in any form of reality except the one you made up for the purpose of getting to keep hating them?
