Fair for her opponent? The punch that ended the fight didn’t knock out her opponent nor did it break her nose nor even give her a nose bleed. And suddenly all the rules need to be changed? Trying to get that granulated opens a whole new can of worms. What about arm length and height? Blood sugar levels? Angle of shoulders and hips? By this logic Shaquille O’Neal had a unfair competitive advantage on everyone.
I didn’t say her in particular, I didn’t even watch that fight. But as the world transitions to treating the genders as no longer binary, doesn’t it make sense to change the binary gender sports rules as well?
The governing body for whatever sport and region already making those rules. The Olympics already has rules in place for trans athletes. So what else needs to be done? This whole panic over this is way overblown and is a distraction that negatively impacts women and trans athletes.
