Transgender fighter wins debut after choking out opponent in second round

You're quite correct. Ladies must stick to safe sports. Anything else is victim-blaming towards women who get injured.

This is a startlingly stupid comment, even for you.

I have had a wee look at various sports channels and MMA groups on social media. I am seeing outrage, everywhere.

This isn’t going to be great for this cheat or for MMA in the long run. Sponsors may pull out due to backlash from the vast majority, which may force the hand of the governing body. At least we can hope.

Mail article.

This is sickening. If you haven't seen the South Park "Strong Woman" sketch look it up, it's quite prophetic.

Piers Morgan now has his thoughts on this in the Mail on line - sorry I cannot link.
Certainly the comments under the original article in the Mail were "why is this even happening?".
I do think very many people are unaware that this is happening.

This has popped up twice on my FB this morning. Both times all the comments were heavily critical along the lines of "why are we celebrating a man beating up a woman?"

This is now being covered by the Mail on line - sorry I cannot share.

The clip shows the two athletes and it is clear which one is male bodied.

Novice trans man beats experienced woman would be more accurate.

I have to say I doubt I'd enjoy watching any MMA fight. But I can see what commenters mean when they say Alana is not very skilled.

Appalling. This is why Language is so important. Transwoman wins over cis gendered athlete utterly mis represents what this is.

'Her victory prompted backlash from a number of people who said it was unfair for a trans woman to compete against a cis-gendered athlete in the sport.'

The Daily Mail don't even call Celine a woman just a cis-gendered athlete!

It's a disgrace these fights are allowed go ahead, the pictures are sickening.

Because that is what this fight is: a form of terrorism against women. They are saying "look what we can do to you and the law allows it."

It's Purge level horror, this.

Thats exactly what this is. I've never had any experience of DV and the pictures have really disturbed me. I can't imagine what it feels like for survivors to see this being celebrated.

to the survivors on this thread.

I keep thinking I hope this is the thing that makes people wake up, but there is no depth people are not willing to sink to to endorse these abuses.

They have just handed hate-riddled males an excuse to beat the living shit out of females and not get sent down for it.

I'm starting to believe that there's a reason for all this shit. It feels like there's a push emanating from some powerful people to stoke as many fires as possible to try to provoke all out social and cultural conflict.

No one in their right fucking mind would support this fight, unless your motive was to crash MMA as a sport or terrify half the population.

I find it so shocking and am in disbelief that we have gotten here-

all very surreal Hunger Games stuff.

that in a "civilised" society that this is happening and has not peaked every single person seeing it.

I hadn't thought about parallel for rough sense defence.
Not only is this normalising it- it is making it entertainment!!!!!

I have no words, this is evil. Just pure evil and sickening.

The person who did it, the people who allowed and profited from it and the people who're justifying and excusing it. All just pure evil

The vast majority of people promoting this have never taken a fist to the jaw of any kind. They've grown up watching Buffy and Black Widow and genuinely think women can just train and beat men.

This is definitely a big part of it. Some people genuinely believe this, and think that saying women are weaker physically is anti-equality.

'a long rounded way'?

[quote ArabellaScott]Indeed there are stupid people on Twitter right now arguing that males are not stronger than females.

Where do you even start with arguments like this?

I'm mad you shared this as it meant I had to read this piece of nonsense: www.twitter.com/Zombiecat_Luna/status/1437014869937688579

There are no words.

@Thelnebriati if you read to the end of the post you'll see my suggestion that the body count will eventually dissuade eager female volunteers. I don't believe society will suddenly care about women being hurt.

Realistically we will need to see several brain damaged, spine damaged, or dead women before this is questioned.

I disagree; injured and dead women have done nothing to help keep women's DV shelters open, funded or single sex.
I think we need to stop thinking that there is any situation so bad it can make people suddenly care about women and children.

Any person who agrees with this situation, or worse, congratulates the "winner" is a woman hating person with mental issues.

I genuinely think some people believe that if women train hard, like in the movies, they can take on men. But most people don't. Most of these people (men) just love seeing women get the crap kicked out of them whilst calling it progressive and claiming that the person doing the kicking is the real victim.

Remember that disgusting trope from years ago that rape victims should just keep their legs closed to prevent it happening? These arguments are barely a whisker away from that.
