Biological males competing against females in combat sports creates an unfair advantage due to greater bone density, muscle mass, and testosterone.

That would be like putting a heavyweight boxer against a lightweight. It creates an unfair advantage. In combat sports, biological males tend to have greater bone density, muscle mass, and higher levels of testosterone, giving them physical advantages even after transitioning. This is why weight classes exist to ensure fair competition. And many argue that the same principles should apply when it comes to biological sex.
