McLaughlin said that it was difficult to find a female opponent willing to get into the ring for the fight, regardless,\u201d the Daily Wire noted.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan, though, pointed out that it wasn\u2019t necessarily the outcome of the match that was concerning \u2014 that McLaughlin defeated Provost \u2014 but that McLaughlin was allowed to compete against biological females, adding that the match was \u201csickening to watch,\u201d since it appeared to Morgan as though officials were simply allowing a man to beat up a woman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegardless of her military record or personal struggles growing up, none of this justifies what happened on Friday night. I found the bout sickening to watch,\u201d Morgan said. \u201cIt was obvious very quickly that McLaughlin was too strong, and equally obvious that this strength came from the 33 years she spent as a biological man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morgan then noted that testosterone level is not the only advantage that biological males may have over biological females. Testing testosterone gives an incomplete picture of how McLaughlin compared physically to Provost, and the mere fact that McLaughlin was born male has its own advantages.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I\u2019ve said before, the restrictive hormone treatment that sports authorities make transgender women do before they can compete in women\u2019s sport does not reduce muscle density or power,\u201d Morgan said.<\/p>\n<p>He then suggested that the trend of allowing male-to-female transgender individuals to compete in women\u2019s sports could have deadly consequences. Allowing male-to-female transgender individuals to compete in non-contact sports like track and weightlifting is one thing, Morgan said, allowing them to fight women is another.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis creates a bad enough unfairness in non-contact sports like sprinting or weightlifting, but when it comes to combat sport like MMA it creates a potentially deadly disparity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>McLaughlin fired back at critics of the fight in an Instagram post following the match. The post shows McLaughlin with visible facial injuries and the message below the photo suggests that McLaughlin does not believe there was any physical disparity between the two athletes, and even that Provost may ha<\/p>\n<p>\u201cY\u2019all need to show&nbsp;@cylinelagrande some respect and take your concern trolling elsewhere,\u201d McLaughlin wrote. \u201cShe almost finished me more than once, and on scorecards she definitely won that first round.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTransphobes are just making my block hand stronger,\u201d McLaughlin said.<\/p>\n<p>McLaughlin is the second male-to-female transgender athlete to compete in an MMA fight. It does not appear that there are further plans for McLaughlin to fight other athletes, though the athlete admitted that it was difficult to find an opponent for the weekend\u2019s bout.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
