    Do you have any actual evidence to support the idea that the sport has a baseline low injury rate, but that its injury rate is high when biological males are involved?

    Yeah, and clearly have no grasp on biology either.

      I've not heard of him, but googling him, wow. His ideas seem as crazy as Ayn Rand's.
      Given your opinion of Stalin, you calling either Nozick or Rand crazy is meaningless. From my interactions, you calling them crazy is basically calling them sane.

        I mean, I think you're crazy too, so fair's fair I guess.

            First, what do you mean by "crazy", and second, why?

              And MMA is a totally safe sport with no injuries normally?

                Certainly not. But when you then add in biological males facing biological females (instead of females facing females), the risk to those females of injuries is MUCH higher and more likely to be more severe. You really have no grasp of biology, do you?

                  Allowing biological males with their inherent physical advantages, to fight women is like letting heavy weight fighters fight against middle weights.

                    Your level of reality-denial is quite entertaining.

                    Tell me, If I were to give you enough evidence to convince you that, yes, that really is what I do for a job... would it change anything for you? Would you actually stop and think and realize that if something you'd written off as on the level of you being Jesus, was actually true, then you might just be really bad at assessing probabilities of things, and reflect that perhaps you should be more open minded and less certain about the false probabilities you're assigning to things? Or would you just brush it off and jump right onto believing something else crazy 2 seconds later?

                      Your ability to accurately describe yourself without realizing it is endearing.

                        Unlike Gond or rogue, I think is more intentional than not though I'm sure you see nothing wrong with hardened male veterans pummeling females as long as the male dyes his hair pink. The Left is quite fickle with whom it supports and quickly discards people once their political usefulness is done much as a child drops a once beloved toy for the newest toy. As we know, males are just better at being women than females.

                          Given how many Women of the Year awards and the like that they keep winning, that appears to be what they think.

                            It seems in 2017 that:

                            FC Dallas under-15 boys squad beat the U.S. Women's National Team in a scrimmage

                            Yes, that's right, boys under 15 beat the U.S. Women's National Team. From the same year:

                            Just in the single year 2017, Olympic, World, and U.S. Champion Tori Bowie's 100 meters lifetime best of 10.78 was beaten 15,000 times by men and boys. (Yes, that’s the right number of zeros.)

                            Comparing Athletic Performances: The Best Elite Women to Boys and Men


                            Interestingly enough there are headlines like this:

                            Girls’ soccer team goes undefeated winning their league - which they played entirely against only boys’ teams.

                            What's interesting is that the girls beat the boys when the ages are under 12 which would be unimpressive when puberty is not factored in as it would have been the case when the U.S. Women's Nation Team lost to under 15 year old boys 2 years after winning the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup and was considered the number 2 team in the world at the time.

                              Came across a story recently where a burly male who coached a female weighting team decided to make a point by entering a women's contest where he easily beat the record which had been set previously by a tran athlete by 100 pounds. The trans athlete then went on social media, and without a hint of self-awareness, cried about how the coach was making a mockery of women's sports.
