There’s a reason why there are weight classes in wrestling, and other types of segregation in contact sports- as well as non-contact sports, like track. It’s so that no one gets an unfair advantage, and no one gets seriously hurt. People can still strengthen their muscles and improve their stamina and agility, but only to a certain point. Someone who has broader shoulders, and a bigger build, is going to have more upper body strength than someone who has a smaller upper body. Someone with a wider pelvis, the strength is flipped- they will have more strength in their lower parts, such as their abs and their legs.
Granted you can’t help this kind of thing in real life and not in a sport, but that doesn’t mean that sports should just relinquish any kind of protective measures.
I agree to an extent. Yes, women can be just as bad as men, but I feel as though they are worse in different areas, and use a different fighting strategy- such as words and manipulation. However, I whole-heartedly agree that if a woman attacks a man, she should still be held accountable and not cry victim if he retaliates. Abuse is abuse and still damages a person’s psyche, regardless if “their muscles can take it.”

Extreme injuries are extreme injuries and are bad regardless of the gender or sex of the opponents. Is she having medical bill issues? I would assume professional fighters have robust health insurance.
That is not a safe assumption to make.
Looked it up and you’re correct:
It refers to the “promotion” which I guess means the “promoter”? Anyway, they pay the medical bills it looks like.
That’s the part people are either dismissing or ignoring altogether in letting trans athletes compete with the opposite sex. The person was born a man, irregardless if they feel they are born in the wrong body (I do have sympathy for them) have certain advantages in contact sports. While testosterone is a part of it like you said muscle mass, bone mass, just comparing the bone density of a man and woman’s hands all of these things go into tipping the scale in the mans favor in these type of sports even before testosterone is put in the equation.
It isn’t fair and all of the record breaking by trans athletes should be a huge red flag to stop it before it goes down the wrong path. Why not have a trans league? We have men’s leagues, women’s leagues, heck we even have the special Olympics they should have their own sporting events to compete in.

It’s a brave new world. The chickens of political correctness have come home to roost.
Out of curiosity, would you guys be upset if it was a born male fighter who broke the skull of another born male fighter? What if it was a transgender male (aka born female transitioned to male) who broke the skull of a born male fighter?
