UFC Suspends Matt Mitrione for Comments about Transgender Fighter Fallon Fox

"He is not a she. He is chromosomally a man. He had a gender change, not a sex change. He's still a man. He was a man for 31 years. That is a couple of years younger than I am, and six years of taking performance de-hancing drugs is going to change all that? That's ridiculous. That is a lying, sick, sociopathic, disgusting freak. And I mean that, because you lied on your license to beat up women. That's disgusting.
I'm all for protecting LGBT from abuse and discrimination, including verbal abuse and slander. I can understand the offense at abusive words, and can even agree to a suspension for hate-mongering, but behind the vitriol, the suspended fighter has a legitimate point. A gender-reassigned female (ex-man) fighting women in MMA just seems wrong to me since males have some physiological advantages in sport that might not simply vanish after a sex-change.

    Hmm - personally I don't really care if someone is a loud mouth bigot. I can see, in this circumstance his head might be in a tad of a tangle as well. That guy shouldn't be allowed to fight women - although, the women he fights might get a super charge out of beating the snot out of him.

    Actually - I clicked because I wanted to see what YOUR head looks like in a tangle. Sigh. Disappointed. I'm gone. see ya

      Yup, some weird issues sure do emerge. Thankfully, that one really isn't my problem. It just struck me as odd. Maybe the difficulties associated to such a process balance out physical advantages, heck if I know. There I go again.

      As far as I know, there are no pics of my head in tangle, nor of my head twisted into a confused pretzel, as much as it all has happened, but there might well have been cameras so who knows.
