About this episode
Back in September, jiu-jitsu athlete Taelor Moore fought an opponent who was not only more than 60 pounds heavier than her, but was a male. She was not warned she would be fighting a man. Afterward, the North American Grappling Association clarified its policy to say that women should be informed when facing a male opponent who identifies as a female, and given the option to opt out. As policies go, this one isn't worth the paper it's written on. In October , a man took four gold medals at a women's jiu-jitsu competition in Georgia, and some divisions consisted of more male competitors than females. This, one of the female competitors, said has left "[t]he majority of the women ... scared to even speak out about this matter. … There's so many girls just not signing up now because they are allowing this." That much should be obvious. Allowing men to fight women is not only unfair, it's dangerous . How many men will take home medals or women will take home injuries before that message gets through?
