During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, co-host Brian Redban asked Rogan what he thought about "that tranny" [Fox], which started an eight-minute rant from Rogan that delved into the following commentary (via Fight Opinion): She calls herself a woman but... I tend to disagree. And, uh, she, um... she used to be a man but now she has had, she's a transgender which is (the) official term that means you've gone through it, right? And she wants to be able to fight women in MMA. I say no f***ing way.
I say if you had a dick at one point in time, you also have all the bone structure that comes with having a dick. You have bigger hands, you have bigger shoulder joints. You're a f***ing man. That's a man, OK? You can't have... that's... I don't care if you don't have a dick any more...

Prior to her transition, Fox had served in the Navy as a operations specialist 2nd class for the U.S.S. Enterprise to support her daughter, born as the result of an unexpected pregnancy. Fox was also forced to quit college and work as a trucker in order to save money for gender reassignment surgery.
But despite the fact that Fox has physically identified as a woman for roughly seven years, Rogan claims that she is "f***ed up" for choosing to compete against female fightersmostly due to the assumed physical advantages that Rogan insists come from being born a male: Look, [Fox is] huge! She's not just huge, she's got a f***ing man's face. I mean, you can wear all the lipstick you want. You want to be a woman and you want to take female hormones, you want to get a boob job, that's all fine. I support your life to live, your right to live as a woman.
Fight guys, yes. She has to fight guys. First of all, she's not really a she. She's a transgender, post-op person. The operation doesn't shave down your bone density. It doesn't change. You look at a man's hands and you look at a women's hands and they're built different. They're just thicker, they're stronger, your wrists are thicker, your elbows are thicker, your joints are thicker. Just the mechanical function of punching, a man can do it much harder than a woman can, period.
