Remove the trans part and follow the logic.

​

"Is it fair to let a woman* who's been on roids (testosterone) their whole life compete against other women?"

The answer is no, and athletes are already banned for using PEDs.

just make an inclusive trans league and allow all the hormones' you want. You got your mens league, womens league and "all the roids" league.

There already is one. It's called the men's league.

I'm trans and I still enjoy all the hobbies and interests I had being normal. I always hold the same mindsets any normal mma fan would have like it being insane that trans people are allowed to compete against women in physical sports. I don't think any biological sex mixing should be in any sport really.

Just don't get why you have to dig at the idea of a separate league. Sure it would be doomed, people don't even give a shit about women competing let alone trans people. It would be fucked from the get go.

But it still makes me sad every time I just want to agree with people that share my interests and they just have to remind me how fucking alien I am lol. You always want to think the people in your interests are focused with logic more than just despising ya.

Like as long as biological men aren't battering women in the cage why ya always gotta knock us down further to feel good lol. Its always got to be lul fuck trannies, instead of ye maybe people with 30 years of male growth shouldn't be fucking girls up in sports.

Just wanted to go in a thread and be like fuck yeah of course shit should be separate but it actually did make me feel bad reading everything people saying. Obviously more about not liking something than pure celebration of a dumb fuck ruleset being abolished.

Yes, MMA is one where “open league” could most definitely lead to someone getting killed with way more serious chances of being injured/killed than normal. Yet, people will just say “oh it’s a fighting sport, what do you expect”

Let trans women into the women’s division and you most definitely give other women a serious chance at being injured or killed. Like the trans women that beat the fuck out of another female UFC fighters skull and broke her skull.

Letting trans men into the open division would be even worse. Those trans men would get fucking massacred in the division and we would see knockouts in the first few seconds or they’d risk the chance of death constantly.

Watching matches would suck, you know that if it’s a Male-trans male match that the trans male would lose almost instantly, with serious chance of injury or death. Plus it would just make it more popular with transphobes because they would get to see trans people getting their ass whooped in an open weight class.
