<p>Transgendered female fighter Fallon Fox recently appeared on AXS TV's "Inside MMA" and made some controversial statements.</p>
"I don't believe a transgender fighter should have to disclose her personal medical history to other female fighters before they fight," said Fox. "It's simply for the reason the medical community and the scientific community have come to the consensus that post-operative transsexual fighters who have been on hormone-replacement therapy and testosterone suppression, when they're going from male to female, haven't been found to have any physiological advantages over other women.
"So why should we have to disclose our personal medical history?"
"Some fighters have already said they would not want to fight me. I think that's because they're scared, No. 1, because I'm pretty good. Or they might just have a bias or they might just be a hate-filled person who doesn't want to touch me or whatever. But I don't want to fight those people anyway because they're scared, so what kind of fight would that be?"
Having the opinion that she shouldn't be allowed to fight other women is a position that I appreciate. I can certainly see where those people are coming from with that argument.
However, it's unnecessary to refer to Fallon Fox as "He".
This should remain as a discussion regarding the legitimacy of the potential physiological advantage this may present, not berating and disrespecting a persons life choice.
Wow I hadn't even considered that. What if a chick's fight did end up being scheduled during her menstruation? all that straining and struggling, even the most powerful and absorbent tampon may have trouble containing the flood.
tim sylvia would probably be pleased that has embarrassment was finally overshadowed if it happened.
No organization should hire him, no athletic commission should license him. It's not discrimination, it's a choice you made. If you want to fight, fight guys like yourself.
