Interesting information for thought.
My hubby follows MMA pretty closely and i know there was a trans (male to female) fighter and she crushed her opponents skull. I think having their own classes (or whatever every other sport would call it) would not discriminate them in any way imo. They can compete with people on their level just like everyone else.
The female skull is no weaker than the male skull. If she crushed someone's skull that's because she was not using safe fighting techniques. Same result would have happened if she was fighting a man.
No no no.
This was a MALE who crushed a FEMALE'S skull with his BRUTE STRENGTH.

No, this was a woman. Your transphobia doesn't change that. Once again, the male skull isn't any stronger than a woman's skull, it doesn't matter if that fighter had been fighting a man or woman.

The whole transgender thing is getting ridiculous when you start letting people who are physically and genetically a man participate in women’s sports. Of course they are winning they often have a physical advantage. I hate this political correctness!

Before you start F***ing calling me names, get your facts straight. He had S*x reassignment surgery. Look it up. He is still physically A MAN. NOT A WOMAN.

She retired in 2014.

It’s not a matter of the females skull being weaker than it is that the male is stronger.

It’s crazy they would let him fight women. It’s not ok for men to hit women in any other case but it’s ok to put a male in the ring with a woman.

UFC color commentator and stand-up comedian Joe Rogan opposed Fallon Fox receiving licensing,[8] stating "First of all, she's not really a she. She's a transgender, post-op person. The operation doesn't shave down your bone density. It doesn't change. You look at a man's hands and you look at a woman's hands and they're built different. They're just thicker, they're stronger, your wrists are thicker, your elbows are thicker, your joints are thicker. Just the mechanical function of punching, a man can do it much harder than a woman can, period."
During Fox's fight against Tamikka Brents, Brents suffered a concussion, an orbital bone fracture, and seven staples to the head in the 1st round. After her loss, Brents took to social media to convey her thoughts on the experience of fighting Fox: "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
