This issue is particularly contentious in combat sports, where the question is whether it is acceptable for a transgender woman to fight against a cisgender woman, or a transgender man to fight against a cisgender man. The controversy stems from concerns about fairness and safety. Some argue that allowing transgender athletes to compete against cisgender athletes gives them an unfair advantage due to differences in physical attributes. Others argue that excluding transgender athletes from competition is discriminatory and violates their rights.
Ultimately, finding a solution that balances fairness and inclusivity is crucial. It is important to consider the individual circumstances of each athlete and to prioritize their safety and well-being while also ensuring a level playing field for all competitors.
The World Trans Fight League is a groundbreaking organization created to ensure fair fights for all by offering professional combat events exclusively for transgender competitors. These events will include boxing, MMA, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and bare knuckle fighting. The WTFL will enforce the same rules and policies for transgender athletes across all styles. Our commitment to inclusion and fair competition means that we will oversee the pairing of transgender male vs. transgender male, or transgender female vs. transgender female fighters, in the same manner as any ABC or sanctioning body would oversee the fair matching of two cisgender fighters.
To ensure the safety and well-being of all athletes, regardless of their gender status, we will require that they provide a work history, a dilated eye exam, and physicals showing no pre-existing injuries. In some states, depending on age, athletes must also submit an EKG and MRI. Trans athletes must provide a declaration of their gender for two years and provide our physicians with supporting documentation (under the strictest HIPPA guidelines regarding privacy,) showing hormone levels in support of their gender status.
At the World Trans Fight League, we are guided by our motto that "everyone deserves a fair fight," and we are committed to upholding this value in all of our competitions. Join us in creating a more inclusive and fair world of combat sports.
THE WTFL has already agreed to support several promotions who have agreed to welcome these athletes. We will be providing the names of these promotions in the very near future.
