Transgender Athletes Questions

1. A situation like Fallon Fox's is very rare and confusing. I think that the MMA should follow the previously written guidelines to decide whether or no she can participate in the sport. If she passes all requirements, than she should be allowed to fight.

2. Transgender athletes do, in my opinion, have an advantage in sporting activities. Even thought they are technically and physically  females, some body parts may still be physically man-like. Their body shape and instinctive aggressive qualities may give transgender athletes an advantage.

3. If I was a girl and I was fighting a person who used to be a man, I would actually be scared. I would think that they are bigger and stronger than I. I do not think it would motivate me, t would just make me confused.

4. In reality, there is not much that can be done to make this issue ore fair. Transgender people have the right to participate in athletics, but some of these competitions may be unfair if they are involved. The only way to solve it would be to add a third "transgender" category in addition to "male" and "female". There would not be enough athletes to install that at this point in time, but maybe one day this can happen.
