So dude chopped of the sausage and now fights a bunch of girls? I don't really think thats fair.

actually the sausage is not chopped off. the balls are..then the sausage is sliced in half and inverted to look like a *****(i filmed the surgery for a doc im working on..and just thought i should burn that image into everyone's mind as it will forever be burned in mine)

now here is the thing..im a big supporter of gay rights, and the lgbtq community HOWEVER...i think she will have a genetic advantage over the other woman in her weight class. because her body will never fully suppress the amount of testosterone she uses..add to that the fact that most female fighters Use it anyways. but thats just a strength advantage... as we all know being strong doesnt make you a good fighter.. george foreman was WAY stronger then muhammid ali..and we saw who won that fight right? being born a man won't make her a better skilled fighter. so let her fight.


its funny i started writing this thinking one thing.. but then i thought bruce lee and muhammid ali and many other great fighters who fought stronger opponents and won..and im like she doesnt have that much of an advantage.

cnn interview with her

so, she didn't start mma till after her reassignment surgury...not sure what that speaks to

but, it's still not apples vs. apples.

other side of the coin: does anyone think a transgenderd male (female to male) would ever want to fight against guys? i think the same genetics apply the other way: no one born a female will ever be as strong as a male of the same weight. (all else being equal: same training regime, etc)

...hmmm...why wouldn't the drug protocols/hormone therapy that a transgender fighter has to be on immediatly disqualify them from fighting pro anyways?

Get transgendered, then start a career in mma?

Does that seem off to anyone else but me?

Oh wait..it does.

yeah, well, lets see what comes of this.

yes...yes it does.

the only other question in my mind is what is his/her chromosonal makeup? xx, xy or one of a myriad of other combinations?

everyone has a right to do what they want..until it can negatively affect someone else. i think it's ridiculous for anyone to think 'she' won't have a physical advantage and while strength/speed is only part of the equation, it IS part of the equation.

Well, they could always start a transgender mma league for m>w and another for w>m.

that way, at least the weigh ins and stats actually count for something.

the muscle mass and power will still be high in the transgender man>woman. The estrogen doesn't make you a woman, it masks your manliness more than anything. I'm sure someone understands the process better.

But, putting plastic boobies in and cutting your meat and two veg off doesn't make you a woman by default. Physically you are still male in many respects.

So to that end, a transgender man will have an advantage in a ring over a natural born female.

I could be wrong and would be open and willing to have it explained and proven to me that I am wrong.
