    Can you explain why such a small percentage of people win more sporting events than their population would suggest? 0.03% of the population seems to show up more in the winner's circle than 0.03% of the time. There's more to this than hormones and testosterone, there has to be.

    Granted that isn't saying much.

    Their opponent was 0-3 (ranked 97th out of 99) and hadn't had a Pro fight in over 6 years, and hadn't fought at all in over 4 1/2 years.

    Get back to me when they beat Amanda Nunes in a UFC PPV Match.

    Until then?:bored:

    Any Elite Level Female MMA Fighter would easily destroy them.

    Huh. That’s a reasonable point about whether or not she would win.

    Thank you.

    Probably for the same reason I feel a strong desire to succeed at all costs. We want to be better so the next gen has someone to look up to- a hero.

    Biology called and it said that you just made a mockery out of the first line in your signature.

    Trans men who transitioned after puberty hellbent on competing in sports is going to derail the whole trans movement.

    Trans people should be speaking out against people like the one in this OP.

    You're saying a trained women can't fight an untrained man?

    You’re boring me
    Clearly you think it’s ok for some jacked dude to beat the crap out of women
    You are entitled to your own views but stop trying to stuff them down my throat

    Much ado abut nothing.

    This guy wouldn't last a minute against Elite Competition.

    That said, this sets a Horrible Precedent.

    As I have stated many times (in the 5 1/2 years I have been a member at PF):

    I am vehemently opposed to biologically-born males competing in female sports. Period.

    If you are opposed to it then why are you saying it’s nothing?
    I bet it was something to this woman who joined a WOMEN sports league and expects to compete against other women

    OMG, that was a WTF if I have ever read one! I'm wondering if people even really pay attention to what the U.S. looks like today! The next generation will have less of everything including rights, the only thing they will have a lot of is confusion...

    So Men beating up on women is a viable alternative to those folk leaning to the left.. As bad as that is the acceptance of that type of thing is even more worrisome :shock:

    Democrats thinking the best women in the world can compete at the level of men.

    no they can’t.

    Serena and Venus both lost to the ranked 203 man in 1998 after he played golf and had a few beers.

    The women were ranked #5 and #36 at the time

    They lost on single set scores 6-1 and 6-2. Had they competed as men do, best of 5 sets, the differences in stamina and endurance would have come into play and made the embarrassment even more so.

    Pat Macenroe said in 2017 that Serena would rank around the 700s in men’s tennis.

    Men’s competitions in sports are so fierce that if you do not have the right body-type for your sport you are DOA, regardless of actual talent. Inches most definitely do matter. Weight matters. Endurance matters. Length and girth matter.

    Men and women’s sports absolutely should stay apart and arguments that in special cases like transgenderism it’s fair to have a man compete as a woman are dumb as rocks arguments.

    I’m so confused. Are you saying you don’t look up to anyone like as a hero or role model?

    The fastest runner in the world isn’t as fast if they have an anchor tied to them. And that about sums up trans bodies.

    Ya, even after he passed away at 83. The man was a shitstorm trooper, raised seven children that never wanted for a single thing, worked 13 hour days and still managed to retire at 57 from Ford Motor company/Milpitas plant Bay Area..

    Other then him not so much!

    Should be noted that Celine Provost has been in a total of two professional fights, lost both. She lasted a minute longer in this fight than her other one.

    She also lost both her amateur fights.
