Quote:I wouldn't say winning is proof there is an advantage, I'd just say based on the fights you and I have spoke about she hasn't just won a few fights like you said, she's won the vast majority of fights, all except one, and three by knockout.Mountains out of molehills. Her entire careers worth of fights only amounts to a few fights, and isn't representative of trans performance in sport overall. Do you think, personally, that on the basis of her record one might assume she has this Trans Advantage we hear about?
What I said....was this-
Quote:What she seems to have done wrong, like Laurel Hubbard, is win something in a big way every now and again.
Which is what she did, and what drew down the ire. Same with Hubbard. Neither are pointed to as exceptional within the totality of their fields, in the female division. Fox, in particular, doesn;t fit the bill for Trans Advantage even as it;s presented by people who imagine there to be one. She doesn't have greater muscle mass than her competitors..or an immutability masculine shape (like an extreme reach advantage)..her hormone levels are legit, and if she does have denser bones, it;s no more or less of an advantage than when a black girl fights a white girl (or a white guy..for that matter). No one's clamoring for racial purity in divisions, not even the gender purity cranks.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
