    I defend their rights everywhere, but common sense just tells me this is unfair and wrong.

    They don't even have to cut bits off any more, IOC changed the rules. Who cares about athletic competition and principles of fairness when someone could be getting 'muh feelings' hurt.

    It'll be interesting to see how the feminazis respond to this. On the one hand they're supposedly all about equality and female/LGBT rights, on the other hand there's clearly an advantage given to the woman in this contest physically because she used to be a man...

    No * mentioned Fallon Fox yet?

    This kinda stuff is madness tbh. I have a lot of sympathy for people with gender dysmorphia but when you've got a genetic male competing against women in combat sports you're asking for trouble.

    I'm not against anyone who's trans but I think it gets crazy and unfair when it comes to stuff like this.
    Maybe just stop separate male and female events and you're put up against people your own strength and weight group no matter what.
