Obviously, I don't follow MMA at all). Agreed. I was very much on board with what she was doing in UFC but admit to not paying much attention to anything aside from the actual fights. Knowing what we know now I can easily say to hell with her. She lost two fans in my wife and I, and I'm thinking it might be worth letting others I know know who still like her. As much as we bag on Bix for whatever reasons maybe an article about what wrestling fans are getting into wouldn't hurt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 From what I can tell, there are mixed messages in terms of the understanding of transgender bone density and muscle growth. Ronda and Rogan were wrong to word their concerns the way that they did, and if you want to take them to town for that, that's fine. However, their concerns aren't illegitimate. Rosi Sexton, who apparex,ntly did not end up fighting Fo had a sensible and respectful approach in voicing her concerns, in my opinion. That Verge article borrows quotes from a Bloody Elbow article by endocrinologist, Dr. Krutzik, who talks about bone density issues in trans fighters, looking at Fox's case in particular (admittedly from a distance). In non-contact sports, it's not a big issue but when it comes to throw fists and kicks, I can see cause for concern and still support trans rights. As for the idea of Germany suppressing Nazi iconography and ideals, that's at best a band aid over the fact the country (with America/Allied help) did such a poor job of denazification. When you suppress bad ideas, they go underground and support for them grows and you end up with shit like the kebab murders in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 There are also "mixed messages" about vaccinating your children, but one side is made up of lies and disproven science, while the other has fact to back it up. Citing an article from 2013 from a ttransmisogynistic MMA blog (check the "related links" at the bottom) does not help your case. The IOC and NCAA feel that a year of HRT is good enough for them, and even that has changed from an edict of 2 years of HRT + GCS as recently as 2015. Do NOT bring your baseless crap to a discussion that I have to take part in nearly EVERY FUCKING DAY becauseof assholes trying to "defend" "real" women from "others" 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very different March than I was expecting. Granted, I watched Eric Embry/Rip Morgan vs Baba/Rusher Kimura last night and I wasn't expecting that either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
