This is why I have some issues with the Transgender community. They're delusional about a lot of things, and the supporters are delusional about a lot of things. I don't care if you think you're a woman mentally, I think there's actually some evidence that's a valid thing. I do care if you try to say you're ACTUALLY a woman. You're not. You're a transgender woman. You are most likely going to be far stronger than a natural female of the same weight/height.
Being a transgender woman shouldn't be a problem, we should accept people even if we think they're weirdos, but let's not pretend that you are 100% woman biologically.
I think it should be illegal for a transgender person to not disclose that they are transgender when engaging in sex, regardless of surgery. I think transgender people should have taken certain steps to be allowed to go into a restroom, slapping on a wig and waltzing into the girl's room with your Adam's apple bobbing and peen swinging shouldn't be allowed unless you have some proof you're brain is messed up. Transgender people shouldn't be allowed to compete in sporting events if they were born a man, they have an unfair advantage. Let's be realistic about it. Realistic and accepting. Even if it's a mental disorder (which I think it is despite what the DSM was pressured into saying) it should be treated with compassion. That being said, it shouldn't be treated with kid gloves and we shouldn't pretend that saying you're a woman or taking hormones makes you an authentic woman. Women shouldn't be allowed in military roles if they can't meet the same requirements as the men, and men shouldn't be fighting women in the ring. I'm sure there are a few women my height and weight that would destroy me in a fight, but the vast majority couldn't, it's unfair. Biology isn't fair.

I think he is saying its not equal to begin with... Hes still a man with 20 years of training and it showed. The woman who got pummelled said as much.
Maybe she should just toughen up and suck it up?

I almost sent this in a PM, but I think it's safe to say publicly. I can't imagine all the hate and ignorance you have felt and dealt with in your lifetime. But if you can for just a minute, realize that most of us are in the same boat. We have never had to deal with this situation, or come to terms with what this means. We have ALL been sheltered by society. that same society that in the past, made you feel bad for who you were.
So getting angry at us for simply being us, is equally unfair.
I doubt a guy with a Doctorate in Physics gets angry when he speaks to me about dark matter. Sure I know it's likely dark based on the name, but other than that, to me, it just doesn't matter.
But you need to understand most simply don't get it, and it's kind of our right to not have to face this if we don't want to, or aren't ready to.

So why no condemnation and outrage when Holly Holm kicked the crap out of Ronda Rousey?

Ronda Rousey hurt so bad in fight she’s been suspended for 6 months
Joe Rogan Says Ronda Rousey Suffered "Serious Head Injury"
Oh wait! Because we don't have a trans person to tear down and disparage. Makes sense nobody has mentioned this.

The complete lack of armor and offensive weaponry (claws, fangs, etc) plainly demonstrate the human body was never made for fighting or warfare. In terms of nature it makes about as much sense as penguins trying to become desert creatures.
It's bad enough that men have been expected to fight in wars but now we've opened the door for women to die and get mangled for corporate profits. We are at the bottom, there is nowhere lower to sink.

Because they are both women, neither one of them use to be a man.
Strawman argument.
Sorry.
