You KNEW it would become a point of contention eventually.
I'm talking about women who used to be men before surgery. Up until now, transgender women have been allowed to participate in women's sports without prejudice.
But what happens when you find out that a really good women's MMA fighter used to be a man and that he/now she is 'clubbering" the competition so badly that she has no real competition in the women's division.
You start getting real-born women upset. THAT'S what happens.
No one officially wants to be "prejudiced" against these "once-men" but deep down inside most people involved in this situation KNOW that once-men fighting natural-born women might be (most likely is) a distinct competitive advantage.
If you want more details, look up the name Fallon Fox.
We accept all sorts of "weirdness" in our society. Eventually it comes back to haunt us. And just maybe doing the right thing here in not discrimination.
In a society that has a hard time deciding what is right and what is wrong, this incident just leaves me chuckling.
