Common Sense on Gender and Sex from a Mixed Martial Arts Fighter

Sometimes the person on the street has more wisdom than the cultural elites.

That’s because the person on the street is dealing with everyday life while the cultural elites are often dealing with abstract theory. Never has this been truer than with the subject of males who identify as females competing in women’s sports.

Academic theory, not fleshed out in real life experience, only goes so far. That’s why, in cases like this, it’s best to talk to the competitors themselves, the people in the trenches, the man (or woman) on the street in the world of sports.

It’s a bad look.”
