This is vulgar and people should definitely not post it.

Women boxers and MMA fighters wear groin protection. You can see it on the regular. Your repost IS vulgar and should not have been posted. Agreed, Mr Chief Content Officer.

You can do what you like, itās your company, and blatantly bigoted posts reflect on you and your company. You can be respectful in your views (like your wife), or you can be mean and demeaning to groups of people who are already dealing with issues.
T-Nation (the company) punches down. Thatās what your post says.

Troll.
I find it hilariously ironic that the metaphoric term āpunching downā is one of the default terms used by trans cultists to criticize anyone who objects to men literally punching women.

I think this is quite a bit different than a man transitioning to become a woman and competing as female. She was born with all outward physical characteristics of a female apparently, and is/was considered female by a society with extremely conservative views on that sort of thing.
I have no problem with pushback on allowing her to compete and totally understand and frankly agree that the cleanest way to determine mens vs womenās is xx vs XY testing.
But making fun of her genitalia in pictures (again, most/all women wear groin protection on combat sports) is pretty shitty and a lowdown thing to do.
How would Chris like it if that happened to his wifeās pictures (which I hope never happens b/c she seems to be lovely person)?

I donāt think you know what apparently means.
Find someone who looks at you the way Emmanuel Macron looks at Teddy Riner after he won his fourth judo gold.

I donāt think heās ever going to retire.
I find this very offensive. At the moment I take low dose of testosterone to help with menopause. Way back then when I was competing, I could not do so because my currant testosterone level are 0.64 over the women legal limit, so no where near a man level. My sport Equestrian, we donāt have men and women division, yet I could not compete today at international level as the go by the OAC rule book for drug testing.
You find me telling someone that saying an individual apparently has female genital is incorrectly using the word apparently, to be offensive? Have you or that poster seen her naked? I would argue that itās apparent she looks like a dude.
Menās gymnastics, specifically guys who specialize in rings.

Fair point 
No what I find offensive is the IOC putting rules in place end then going around them. If a women has higher then normal range hormones level, she has to provide a medical document and base on that she can be permitted or not to compete. If she is permitted to compete, the reason for higher then normal range has to be declared clearly.
I had to declare as a late teen that I was taking the pill to be permitted to compete.
That is what piss me off. Is now every thing is getting muddy and it cause this whole shit show.
And yes, I once had the pleasure to pee in a cup in front of āpublicā at that time I was legal drug free but any legal drug need to be declare and medical condition that could affect the results too.
The two fighters with XY chromosomes are males with androgen insensitivity syndrome. Their androgen receptors do not respond to testosterone so they donāt masculinize. They donāt have female genitalia. What they do have is their male genitalia never progressed beyond itās early stage of fetal development where male and female look very similar.
Frankly I think too much emphasis is being put on testosterone levels as if there arenāt genetic differences between male and female that give advantages to males. Males and females have evolved to fill specific biological functions. Females are optimized for bearing and raising children.
Males have evolved to be optimized to fulfill the male role. Part of that role is combat. The reason why men have more robust facial bone structure is so they can withstand fighting other males to assert dominance and be the Alpha Male.
The most important factor in winning a fight is staying conscious. Males have a more robust wider shoulder structure. This is the foundation that the neck and ultimately the skull are attached to.
Without changing the size or strength of a muscle simply moving the attachment points changes leverage. Wider shoulders allow the attachment points for the stabilizer muscles of the skull to have a wider base imparting greater stability to the skull.
A knockout occurs when the skull accelerates faster than the brain which is floating in fluid. When the bone slams into the brain it is bruised, damaged and out go the lights.
Males have an advantage in preventing skull acceleration. But there is another difference. Male and female brains are different in their ratio of white to grey matter. Grey matter is the computational or processing part of the brain. Males have a higher proportion of grey matter which is why they tend to do better at math.
Females have less grey matter but they have more white matter. White matter is the networking or data bus. Females have less processing but they can move information around the brain faster. In computer terms if the male brain is 32 bit the female brain is 64 bit. This is why women excel at language skills and can talk a lot more. There is a child rearing advantage to this, children learn their language skills from their mother.
In a fight if you get hit square on the jaw so hard your head snaps around sending a spray of sweat off your hair, causing damage to grey matter, the male brain is more likely to continue processing because it has greater reserves of grey matter.
Processing where you are, what you are doing is very important in a fight. But there are other factors in a fight that require processing. Distancing, how close is the body, how close are the hands, how close are the feet, how close are the heads. Angles and alignments of the bodies and limbs involves processing geometry.
There is a lot to process in a fight and with their greater reserves of processing power, males take longer to grind down and beat unconscious.
For females birthing and child rearing are crucial aspects of their reproductive process that they are built for. But with males fighting is part of our reproductive process, it can be how we assert dominance to get a mate. But we also needed to be able to fight to defend our mate and offspring from predators.
Males are built for fighting in ways that females arenāt. This is not a grey area at all. Itās not a fair fight to put a woman in the ring with a male. Someone is going to die. Women have died fighting other female fighters. So itās not a matter of if it happens itās a matter of when it happens.

Bone density and hand/wrist strength too.
So when men punch, its like getting hit with a rock. When women do, eh. Their wrists buckle.
