You conveniently left out all the other facts! Smh

If this was true, I wonder why we've never seen any female-to-male trans fighters doing well in MMA?

It's not so clear cut an issue. " Typically, you're looking at about 15 years after androgen suppression and sexual reassignment surgery to really start to see significant changes in bone density. It's been too early for her to see much of a decrease in bone mass or to make her equal to that of a female. She started off with a much higher bone density than other women her same age, and therefore will maintain a lot of that for a while. Additionally, because she is taking estrogen, that will actually help to maintain that bone mass. .." -Dr. Ramona Krtuzick, {endocrinologist }. As a major part of gender re-assignment surgery is not just the physical act of the surgery itself, but also subsequent hormonal therapy. The effects of this hormonal therapy helps the transgendered male–>female person look more female. In the process, lean muscle mass decreases; total body and muscle fat increases, and bone density decreases. This has been studied in male–>female transgender individuals COMPARED TO MALE CONTROLS . After treatment, all of these things the transgender females have less lean muscle mass, more fat, and thinner bones than their MALE controls. This, however, has not been studied against female controls. The reason being is that medical doctors are performing these studies, not to compare the transgender patients to females, but to study if the hormonal therapy can lead to diseases such as osteoporosis, or thin bones. To just so easily dismiss the potential advantage this can have. Again Dr Krtuzick "Her testosterone levels are more than likely in the normal female range, since her adrenals are the primary source for it now. She didn't undergo hormone therapy and surgery until she was fully developed, as compared to someone who completes therapy and surgery in their adolescence or very early adulthood, when they haven't completely developed. She has the potential to be significantly stronger because her muscle development reached several years beyond full maturity, giving her the potential to be significantly stronger than other age matched women.There's not really a way to determine how much her muscle mass will decrease over time. What can be said is that she has a naturally higher propensity to build and maintain muscle mass because she was once a fully developed, adult male. You can't ever take that away from her."

Yep. You agree with something that's not even true because it sounds right to you (Before she transitioned, which was 5 years before she started training and 6 years before she started fighting, she was an electronics technician in the Navy). That's pretty much bigotry for you.

It's because she's undefeated. Winners get away with more

Sad, but kinda true. I think this is just an awkward phase that might improve. Then again, I haven't been on this site as much for completely unrelated reasons (I have a job now) so that could be coloring my perception a bit.

Yeah...

The community has definitely changed as well.

Though I wasn't as active then as I am now, it definitely feels like the comment section is skewing younger now and the comments are a lot less formal. It's more of a community than a comment section now.

I actually like this change but I miss some of the old staff...
