MMA's first-ever transgender fighter tries to debunk transgender athlete controversy.

Transgenders competing in sports still remains to be a controversial issue today. 

MMA wouldn’t be left out of the equation this past year. Transgender woman Alana McLaughlin would make her professional debut last September. She would win the contest by submission in round 2. However, the finish wouldn’t come without controversy.

McLaughlin would receive a lot of criticism for fighting a cis woman. Among the heat online, MMA’s first-ever transgender fighter Fallon Fox would show support to her fellow transgender fighter. 

Fox was active in MMA from 2011-2014. She went 5-1 in her career, only losing to the UFC’s Ashlee Evans-Smith. She would receive a fair amount of hate herself, getting talked down upon by MMA stars like Joe Rogan and Ronda Rousey. 

Eight years after hanging up the gloves, Fox has taken it upon herself to defend other transgenders competing in sports such as MMA. Fox would share some new medical research from a Twitter user, regarding transgender and cis female athletes.

“New research finds trans women that undergo HRT their hemoglobin levels reduce to the normal F range within just 3–4 months & their Vo2 Max in 4-6 months & their muscle reduces mass 9.4 % in just the first 12 months of T deprivation.” said Kirsti Miller.

Fallon Fox would showcase the tweet, adding input that transwomen don’t have advantages over those who were born a woman. 

“Don’t come at me with “trans women have an advantage over cis women with endurance” ever again.”

Do you agree with Fallon Fox?

  1. He’s a liar. Men are stronger than women on average. There are exceptions to the rule, like with everything else, but most women are not competitive against men in most sports. This was common knowledge and common sense prior to about 2013, and then people suddenly started pretending that these well established, easily proven, readily observable facts of life, were up for debate. They aren’t up for debate. Sex is binary and immutable, and it always will be. Men are stronger and faster than women, and they always will be. Men are better at some things, and women are better at others. Physical activity happens to be one of the things that men are better at. This is because their bodies are evolutionarily adapted for speed and strength. The male pelvis was “designed” to facilitate speed. The female pelvis was “designed” to facilitate the prolongation of the human species. To accommodate this, we sacrificed speed. We just can’t run as fast as men can. We can’t hit as hard. We can’t jump as high. We don’t have the same endurance or stamina. Our hearts and lungs are smaller, with significantly lower capacity. This is what affects endurance and stamina in athletics. These are things that hormones and a wig won’t change.

    No one is trying to keep trans-identified males out of sports. We are trying to protect women’s sports. They are more than welcome to compete with members of their sex, or to start their own leagues.

    Just like in the prison debate, the sports argument falls apart when we consider trans-identified females. If these biological differences aren’t important like they claim, why do so few trans-identified females compete on men’s teams? Are we ever going to see a transman in the NBA or NFL? Would they ever even make it that far? Of course not. And we all know why. Why do we NEVER see transmen being locked up in male prisons? Why don’t we see them claiming that it’s a violation of their rights as “men” to not be sent to male prisons? Because they know that male behavior is different than female behavior, and they wouldn’t last a day in a male prison. They know they wouldn’t be safe. They know deep down that there’s a very important difference between a man and a transman. That difference is biology. Yet we allow males who claim to be women to go to women’s prisons, where some of them have gone on to sexually assault, and even impregnate the female inmates (look it up if you don’t believe me).

    This is lunacy. This is an ideology that doesn’t stand up to the slightest bit of scrutiny, and I’m so sick of everyone pretending that that’s not the case.
