rooster59 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Transgender Muay Thai fighter “Nong Rose” lights up the ring Somros Phoncharoen was sent to a Muay Thai boxing camp when he was only eight years old because his uncle saw him acting like a ladyboy. “I started boxing since I was eight. I have an uncle who is a retired boxer. He saw me acting like a katoey, so he put me to fight with other boys and to do boyish stuff,” said Somros, better known by his stage name “Nong Rose Ban Charoensuk”. His uncle might failed to change his gender preference, but he was successful in making Somros a Muay Thai star. Nong Rose has now become a famous transgender Muay Thai fighter not only Thai but foreign fans alike.

Guitar God Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 In the article she said "me and my opponents fight LIKE men" so I'm guessing she fights women, and other kathoeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nausea Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Why people think transgenders are weak is beyond me, like you're gonna hav to be pretty tough mentally to take this cross on your back. It's obviously easier for them to fake being male or female than to come out. Same for gays I suppose, but it's got a lot easier for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
