She regularly fights men and was, in fact, born male. She was recently the first trans fighter to grace the ring at Bangkok’s famed Rajadamnern Stadium, where the crowd went crazy cheering for her. She easily won a five-round match against male kickboxer Priewpak Sorjor Vichit Padriew a few weeks ago. It was her second fight at the revered Muay Thai venue. Her first, in June, marked the first time a trans athlete fought there.

oldhippy Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I most strongly object against the use of the expression "flower power" by the journalist that wrote this article. Is nothing sacred in this world anymore? Old Hippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
