I wonder about a lot of those "women" in MMA. This chick called "cyborg" seems pretty manly to me as does Rousey. I wonder how many of them would pass the test that female track athletes have to take.
You have to. Those "girls" are not girls, and it isn't fair to let them compete. If we need to recognize a third (or fourth) gender for competition purposes, fine, but you can't let genetic men compete in COMBAT sports against women (Swyer syndrome is ambiguous, since their body doesn't respond correctly to testosterone and they develop external female genitals, though being XY, due to a mutation in the SRY gene, but if a genetic test is done we can plead ignorance and allow them to compete as females, until full knowledge is available. Lack of period might be a big hint - they should realize it eventually). Cross gender boxing, but male to female and female to male divisions would probably be important to establish. Too many structural differences in men and women to make this "fair". screw being pc.
Tennis is different, but combat sports or real full contact ones (not that there is a big drive for female american football leagues ...) where death and injury is a very real possibility MUST be regulated beyond some arbitrary "tolerance" - you are putting people's lives at risk on an uneven playing field. Point fighting at the karate tournament is a little different than MMA, boxing, or even rugby.
I have seen women compete against men in forms or kata competitions but never in sparring at the black belt level.
I agree with you all, but in this hypersensitive climate where people are crucified over accidentally using the wrong gender pronouns for Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner (even having that called hate speech!!!!) advocating for segregation in sport...even a bloodsport...runs the risk of, absurdly, getting you labeled a stuck-in-the-past bigot. :?
That's the thing with these SJW types, they wouldn't care if some woman got killed by a tranny. The persons life is meaningless to them, the only thing that matters is that their agenda gets pushed forward.
Sadly yes. That is the direction we are heading. Along with "all cops are evil and rioting/looting or killing a police officer is justified because SOME cops have done bad things of which SOME may have been racially motivated". :verysad
It is foolish to make a blanket generalization about any group of people but I have long worried more about a cop taking my life than a terrorist. It's all a matter of perspective.
