    Every physical aspect of the body is affected when on hormone for a long time. You can google pictures of before and after treatment and clearly see the drastic changes. By the time a man has the appearance of a women they are going to have the physical structure and ability of a women

    I am not transgendered. Having a different opinion is one thing, advocating intolerance is something completely different. That is pretty deauchy if you ask me.

    Don't try to force acceptance onto people Andy. Just because you have no issue with it doesn't make it right or normal.

    The day will come when people like you are known for being the bigots that you are. You can believe what you want but never going to have my respect.

    Wow, it's my dream to play in the World Cup but i can't make the mens U.S. soccer team. so maybe i should turn myself into a chick and join the U.S womans soccer team lol, get real dude a man is a man, he got a 39second knock out, out of the many womans MMA & street fights i've seen i've never seen a woman get knocked out cold especially in 39 seconds there was a thread on that just a few weeks ago. But with a mans bone density vs a womans i'm sure it was easier to get the knock out. I can't believe this is even a debate. The job of athletic commissions is to protect fighters period. And this is the biggest issue of fighter safety we've ever seen

    I have nothing Against the LGBT Community, but you don't want to see women being hurt by someone who may have the upper hand due to having male genetics, Granted hormone therapy does change alot of things, I still think that some of what once was male, will still linger around and give this fighter the upperhand. It's a touchy subject.

    Are there any other sports or cases that we could take precedence from?

    Well, Russia gave huge doses of roids to young female weight lifters and basically turned them into men. That is, gave them many traits that were male like, and they have since banned the practice. Not entirely the same but similar in principle.

    A man with his penis cut off still has the genetics and hormones of a man...

    If a man and woman weighed the same amount with the same amount of muscle the dude would be able to lift more the muscle composition is different.

    Im not saying that women cannot over come this with technique and timing but at the highest level of competition a 20-50% strength advantage is going to factor huge into the outcome of fights.
