 None of these ladies are 6'2 220lbs lol

Tell you what, as soon as a woman who transitions to male wins in men's swimming or MMA or boxing or power lifting, I'll shut the fuck up

But until then I will continue to call your ideology femalephobic and discriminatory towards women

And it's not a good look, it makes you look like a dick

 So there are no women who are 6'2 220. You might want to check that statistc.

Good luck with reality. This cisgender MMA dude (who thinks like you) is about to get his ass kicked by a trans man.

I am a feminist through and through.

The future is now. Here's maybe a better metric that sport, actual combat.

Here's trans man Shane Ortega, 

Retired Army Staff Sergeant Ortega served three duty tours: two in Iraq with the USMC as a woman, and one in Afghanistan with the Army as a man. ...A "team and squad leader, a flight engineer, and a machine gunner."

Ortega executed over 400 combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, "and fought side-by-side in foxholes and remote operating bases." Ortega noted that in a combat zone his gender identity made little difference, as he was expected to carry his own equipment and do his job—lives counted on it.

I'm not here to say what you should believe. It's not the job of the oppressed to educate their oppressors. That's what allies are for.

 I respect Beggs for wanting to compete in the male division, instead of the female one. It's too bad the kid got caught up in a media shit storm, when he wasn't at fault for the wrestling division he was forced to compete in.

However, Mack would get crushed in a fight against Jake Shields, it wouldn't be close. Even if Shields doesn't prepare for the fight, he'd need to get a stroke in the middle of the bout to lose.

 Wow, imagine being so threatened by strong, powerful women that you have to resort to making jokes about their size. Maybe instead of mocking them, you should try celebrating their strength and athleticism. Just a thought. #WomenEmpowerment #SizeDoesntDefineAbility 🚺💪🏼
