One of the Most controversial MMA fighters today is Fallon Fox, She is a transgendered Mix martial artist who competes against women.  I remember the olympics do allow transgendered women to compete against biological females as long as they have the body frame and estrogren level of a woman. Most Transgendered women who are allowed to compete as women, transitioned at a very young age. The ones who are allowed transitioned as little boys.

Fallon Fox lived as a man for a long time and even served the Military before she decided to become a woman. At the early stages of her career women can't beat her because she have the built and bone density of a man. She defeats women in few seconds because she use to have the strength advantage due to being an adult male before she transitioned. 

One of the women she defeated that she should have been informed that she is going to fight someone who is born as male.  There are female fighters who said she should not be fighting biological females.

Women cannot complain about her having strength advantage anymore though because she already lost to one woman. So it is proven that women can actually beat her.

So what is your opinion? Should they allow her to fight women?

Yes, I think so. Perhaps there should be a sport only for transgendered women because there is sections of sports that are only played by women and/or men. Maybe that would be the best solution.

But yes, they should be allowed. Why they wouldn't? Because they are threats? No, that doesn't make sense.

This is a complex issue because being transgender is quite new and the rules of the game are still not adapted to this physical changes brought by medical science.

In the olden days, there was this professional tennis player named Richard Raskind who, I think, was in the top 20 rankings. And when he had surgery to make him a woman, she assumed the name Renee Richards and tried to play in the women’s league. It was a big question at the time since everyone know who she really is. When the 1976 US Open disallowed her to play in the women’s division, Richards went to court and on the following year, she was able to play against the top ranked women.

The controversy with Fallon Fox is that she plays a combat sports. In other words she punches and kicks women in the face. She also said she identifies as Lesbian. Many people are accusing her that she is a straight man who had sex change because she can't beat men in MMA. She is a former US marine during her times as a man.

Many people speculates that her recent loses are intentional so she will be remained to be allowed to fight women. Renee Richards at least competes in a non combat sports and Billy Jean proved a woman can beat a man in Tennis.

When you use a term like transgender it answers your question in itself. Transgender says they are neither men or women so how is that possible to allow any particular category?

I think it is difficult because the trans-gendered athletes surely don't have the same biological setup as females. Besides, how is it determined that they'll compete against females and not males. However, I think that if they can surgically be turned completely into one sexual orientation, then they should be able to compete in that category.

This question needs an intense debate. We need to be open to various kinds of sexual orientation. If we are accepting a transgender as a different sexual identity, then how can we group them and allow to play along side females.

On the other hand, leaving then out from major games is also a some sort of discrimination.

Transgendered men are not allowed to compete against biological males because they were still weaker than a man. They still have the bone density of a woman.

Male fighters will also hesitate to hurt a woman and fight a woman because it is a lose/lose situation on their part. Some people say that Transwomen just need to have their own division if they wanted to compete in MMA. Many People will still see them as a man beating up a woman.

The Olympics do allow them to compete against women but not in combat sports.

I don't think that would be fair. Maybe it's not fair also to not let them compete but you can't make everyone happy. I'm against that, and not just because of sport, for me that's so wrong and unnatural.

I personally do not think that this would be professional in anyway at all. I'm not trying to be offensive in any shape or form but I do think that once you're born a Male you're a Male for life no matter what you have done to your body. Transgenders should not be given full access to what women have access to as they've already been given access to use the same toilets as women which I think is kinda crazy but would seem strange for a Transgender to use a Male rest room anyways lol. There's loads of ways you could look at things like this but I do not think it would be fair to let Transgenders compete against Female athletes no matter what.
