Transgender Athletes

  1.   I think the MMA should only allow her to fight certain women.  She should only be fighting women who are as tough as her because Fallon Fox could seriously injure someone who I a lot weaker. She should not be discriminated against just because she is different.

  2.     I think they have an advantage in sports, but do not have a distinct advantage. People are born with genetic traits that could help them in certain sports. An example is height in basketball gives other players a better opportunity to grab a ball compared to a smaller player.

  3.  I would not view the match any different. This would just make me more motivated to train harder. The challenge would push me to do my best, and show everyone what I would be able to accomplish.

  4.  In the future, the fighter should reveal his/her medical records more clearly. The MMA commissioner should know about this, but not every athlete needs to know about it. This is a major issue on privacy, and the fighter should not be forced to tell anyone anything. On the other hand, if a fighter asks about it, and feels uncomfortable with it, they should be allowed to skip the fight.
