Technically, there could be "hormone issues", in that m-to-f transwomen continue to take female hormones to maintain their physique.....and those hormones do anything But make you stronger than natal women...so, if they wanna be all letter-of-the-law on the contract about hormone therapy, they could yank that outta their butts at her. Would be utterly meaningless in any practical light as to "fairness" to the born female opponents, though.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Right now the biggest argument against Fox fighting women is that she might have retained some strength advantage and that some other male features may give her more of an advantage.

I doubt this as her last opponent more muscular than she was and obviously stronger.  Unfortunately for her opponent put her head down and ate a knee.

I hadn't really thought about that, but hormone therapy is something the regulatory body would want to keep an eye on over doping concerns. Not mentioning that could get you bruned, otherwise any legal cases they have to wage about it later have an exception to work from.

I don't really have anything meaningful to contribute to the topic other than "I hope that she keeps her license."

However, I keep reading the title as "Falco Fox," instead of "Fallon Fox."  I spent far too much time as a kid playing Star Fox XD

I want her to keep her license and I also want to point out she's not the first athlete to be "caught" for being trans* in a sport and then an outcry happened. I forget the name but it was some tennis player this thing happened to as well. Except she got expelled. I think.

Are you thinking of Renée Richards?

She did get expelled but sued and won her right to play as a women.  Never won a title.

That's the one. Thanks. :) Yep. She was actually in one of Sagan's books...

As far as I know the last major sports organization to get rid of rules like that was the LPGA.
