The most successfull female kickboxer in Thailand was a man a transgender which?

Question

undervent surgery. Do you think in sports transgendered men should be allowed to compete against women ?

Answer 1

Nong Toom, who is Thailand's most successful woman kickboxer who happened to be born as a transsexual, didn't want to become a kickboxer in the beginning.  She eventually became one in order to help support her family, latter becoming famous.

Something which people seem to forget, and something that was proven during one of the exhibition fights she had in Japan, is that transsexual women loose the "masculine" physical strength..

Additionally.. skin softens, muscle & fact structures change, often times a male to female transsexual who may have suffered from male balding patterns, will grow that hair back and so on..

No, Nong Toom is fully and legally female if she wishes to professionally compete as a kickboxer in the women’s circuit.

And finally, Thailand’s culture, their religion, military, all accepts transsexuals as sort of a 3rd s*x.

In my opinion Nong Toom is truly the Beautiful Boxer, and should be given the respect that she's earned, rather than to be questioned by a bunch of hypocrites

Answer 2

I believe that in any industry, sport, whatever... so long as the candidate has the qualifications, he/she can get in the ring.  The outcome will vary with the qualifications of the candidate.

Answer 3

Katoi is the term for this.  That's a major problem in Thailand.  But to answer your question, no they shouldn't be allowed to compete since men do have more muscle mass.

Answer 4

OHHHH YEAHH I saw the documentary on her/him!!!! He competed as a man.......then was a woman when he wasn't fighting.  Then he has surgery and competed as a woman. Yeah I don't think that is fair either....

Answer 5

Of course they should be allowed. What aids with strength? Testosterone. Well, the average trans-woman has less testosterone than the average woman. If that person has been on hormones for three years a great deal of male muscle mass will be gone.

What's the argument against, really? XX vs. XY? Please, that is a really over-simplistic argument. Former plumbing? Get over it. There is no reason whatsoever to keep them out.

Answer 6

Yes because he is not a man, he's a woman.

Answer 7

The person you are referring to is a woman and not a man unlike what some of these bigoted idiots think. She is featured in the poignant movie, "Beautiful Boxer"!   Also a transgender is not a transsexual as in this wonderful Thai lady.  She has every right to compete and she did so beating men not women!  She has every right to compete against other women as well.

Some folks here need to educate themselves quite obviously! How stupid!

Answer 8

NOOOOOOOOOOOO that is cheating.

Answer 9

No--technically he is a man.

If you have two XX chromosomes, you are a woman.  If you have XY chromosomes, you are a man.  This person has XY chromosomes, therefore, technically, he is a man.  

Now I'm all in favor of trans gendered people being treated like the gender of their choice in their daily lives and such.  I don't have a problem with them using the bathroom they want to use, and I don't have a problem addressing them as "she" if they are really a "he", for example.  But there are some instances in which they should be treated as the s*x they really are.  An example is MtF trans gendered athletes, because such athletes have a legitimately unfair advantage over their female competitors.  Another example is that "pregnant man" from a few months ago.  He was really a FtM trans gendered person, so I don't see why there should have been a hullabaloo over him being pregnant.  Technically, he was still a woman and still had all his female organs on the inside, so what was the big deal?  I don't have a problem with him being considered a man, but it does annoy me that such a big deal was made out of it, when he clearly wasn't a man in the technical sense.
