You know what I'm saying? Potentially someone that wants to be a woman Changes themselves and then Now they want to play in the WNBA I don't know I don't know, man This is one of those videos I legitimately I have no, I don't have many words here The only thing I can tell you is that I'm not the biggest fan of it I think men should be fighting men And women should be fighting women However you were born That's what it should be based off of That's my personal opinion But yeah I would like to get your thoughts and opinions on this This is an interesting one To say the least Comment down below Let me know How do y'all feel about transgendered men Fighting women in combat sports Do you guys agree with it?
