After several female martial artists withdrew from competitions in fear of being injured by much stronger transgender fighters, The North American Grappling Association (NAGA) has overhauled its rules to prevent such unfair and dangerous contests.

It was the right thing to do, you say? Yeah, it was the right thing to do many months ago. What were they waiting for? This is a sport in which physical strength is obviously a major factor, and the advantage of going through puberty as a male is obviously going to be a factor. Natural-born female competitors shouldn’t have ever been placed in the position of having to choose between dropping out and risking getting crushed by recently-minted female with testosterone aided skeletal structure and muscles.

NAGA isn’t an Ethics Dunce because it decided to protect the integrity of the sport and the safety of its female fighters, it’s an Ethics Dunce because it was too cowardly, negligent, irresponsible and incompetent to do it the second the possibility raised its hairy head, stubbly head that a converted male might enter their competitions under their rules. NAGA didn’t take action because they wished and hoped that they could duck the issue without LGBTQ+ activists and social media mobs coming after them. Maybe, these despicable weenies thought, everyone would get along. Maybe women with their original lady parts wouldn’t object.

They were avoiding doing what was clearly the right thing, waiting until someone’s neck was broken.

Last month Taelor Moore, a 135-pound woman, posted a video of her fighting a 200-pound transgender athlete. She actually won the fight, but her coach, said that she “could have been severely injured.” Of course she could have been injured. Then NAGA would have rushed in and changed its rules, locking the proverbial barn door after the tarnsgender horse had left Taelor in a wheelchair. Okay, that metaphor’s off, but you get the point.

And there are dozens of athletic bodies playing the same unethical waiting game, because they are gutless and without decency or integrity. All female athletes is sports where strength, size and speed is an advantage should boycott their sports until transgender competitors are banned or relegated to their own category.

Or they can just wait for the first woman to be crippled, maimed or killed like these associations are.

[That’s former male WWE pro-wrestler Tyler Reks above, who now, post “transition,” goes by the name of Gabbi Alon Tuft. She had the decency and sense to quit wrestling after feminizing. She competed at about 280 pounds as a man; she’s a lot lighter now, but she’s still 6’2.” ]
