What do we think about THIS....Trigger warning - Graphic Image **title edited by MNHQ

I’m not in support of thus. AIBU??

Read the excellent piece in the Times today. It's just gone too far.

OMG this is horrific - I feel sick. You should post this on the feminism board too.

Women boxers should boycott the game until this madness is outlawed.

Never understood MMA "sport" and hitting the shit out of people ir getting the shit knocked out of you for fun, no matter the sex.

But isn't this chosen based on weight (heavyweight, lightweight, etc)? At the end of the day someone will be stronger than their opponent.

Doesn't mean I think biological men in biological women's sports is okay.

It would have been nice to have had a warning about what was in that picture before opening the thread.

I think men and women should be able to compete on anything that is not physical. Biology means their bodies are different, thats a basic fact.

Sure chess, cards, strategy... but not fighting

Do you have a link or could you tell me the title of the piece please?

Which 11 % are in support of this?

Males should not be in women's sport. There is no justification for it on any level.

Yes I agree, 'physical sports' I meant to say.

I’m all for supporting the rights of transgender people. So this is a really tough area. I do though think that in sport ( if you can call this a sport) people who started their life as biological males will have an unfair strength advantage, and therefore they put people who are biologically female in danger if they are allowed to compete against them. So no I don’t think it should be allowed.

Trans or not sports like this; MMA, boxing etc I have never quite understood. Why / how the hell is fighting a 'sport'? That in itself is unreasonable.

I hate boxing I just don’t get it the injuries are horrific.

Fallon doesn't care, Fallon believes that they're the disadvantaged one due to the prejudice faced from being trans in women's sport.

There is many examples of why those born male shouldn't be in female sports. Unfortunately, no one cares to listen as society seems to want to pretend that sex and gender are absolutely interchangeable at the total denial of biology and physiology.

Lionel Shriver in the Sunday Times.

Absolutely disgusting.

No one should be doing this "sport" anyway

Thanks Glad

Disgusting, i hope they are prosecuted.

Vile and depraved.

Bit late now considering she retired from MMA years ago.

She was also TKO'd by a female (from birth) opponent.

Fighters are matched by category and weight. No one was force to fight her - they took on the challenge. And were paid to do so.

Also, MMA and boxing are not the same thing.

I disagree, that picture needs to be published. The more people who see it the better. Being reasonable is getting us nowhere, it’s time for shock tactics.

Fighters are matched by category and weight

There's usually something else that separates people into categories in sports as well, or should MMA fighting now just be based on those two factors? They don't separate male and females in sports for the fun or for discrimination - it's because men and women are not compatible for competing against each other fairly.

I hope all those that have jumped on the 'men's rights to be women' bandwagon are proud of themselves. Women fought for decades to just be treated equally and fairly and now men are taking away our right to be even be women. Or even be safe.

This is disgusting.

I have sympathy for trans gender people and believe they should be treated with the same respect and dignity as anyone else, but anyone who thinks that identifying as a woman negates their biological attributes as a man is just plain deluded. Man or woman this person is a scum bag.
