Bravest athlete ever? I think not.

[Kes Arevo]

Sorry, but Alex Zanardi would like a word with you.

For starters.

[SlimJim16v]

So someone with the size and strength of a man, fighting women is brave? Or did I get it wrong?

She boasted about fracturing skulls. Brave my arse.

I don't understand people who do things like that. Does he have no regard at all for the people who care about him?

Of course he does, that`s why he is careful.

Now, your idea of careful may differ from his.

You should watch the film where he explains his thoughts on that point. It's genuinely interesting.

So, she was actually he and then he/she kicks womens in MMA ring? I think she is an idiot. Transgender people should not do woman sport, especially fighting stuff.

I'm frankly quite surprised she's allowed to fight women. Physical combat more than any other sport will highlight the advantage that testosterone bestows in terms of muscle, bone, lungs and airways (even when compared to a woman of the same size) etc upon a man. And it doesn't make any difference if the testosterone is chemically halted in transition to female, the physical advantage will always be there.

I think they should put an otter in with her pumped full of rat hormones. She’d probably kill it in about a second though, just kick its face off.

So a woman bashing coward who hides behind the label ‘trans’, enjoying the full support of the Alphabet Mafia then.

All I see is cowardice.

once might reasonably assume at least 15 years growth of muscle and skeletal structure as a male would give a distinct advantage over a woman. There's a reason the the RFU is looking into the safety aspect of this - and it ain't 'cause they're "haters"

On the subject of the transgender athlete...let me introduce you to Gabi Garcia who's not transgender but regularly competes against other women and at the end of the month is going up against a guy.

If never heard of this bloke til last week when me daughter asked me to watch a documentary with her. Frankly, it was nigh on two hours of utter astonishment. One of the most transfixing, nerve wracking and thought provoking docu’s I’ve, especially after expecting to be bored brainless.
