Brave & Beautiful. Such a touching story of lies, deceit, depression and LITERALLY leaving a trail of women’s bodies that you destroy. What a role model for young children.
A lot of these stories start this way. An individual FEELS “disconnected” or uncomfortable in their body and then searches the internet and find out “I’m transgender”. I wonder if that missing feeling had anything to do with their relationship with the Lord? It also states that Fallon Fox fathered a child at 19! I’m sure becoming a father so young helped tremendously with Fox’s mental health. I do appreciate that Fox sought out counseling prior to making irreversible changes to their body and mutilating themselves, most don’t these days.
This article is slightly misleading. According to PubMed research studies the OVERWHELMING majority of Transsexual suicides are due to a “break up of a romantic relationship”. The high suicide rate in Transgenders remain consistent whether they’ve, started hormone treatment or had surgeries, the rate drops significantly when a Transgender turns 35.
The article attempts to convince you that your transphobic if you question a man fighting in a women’s sports but then lets you know that Fox does not care “what anyone else thinks or says” and that they don’t need to argue the science. I completely disagree, we needs to argue the science! Why have chromosomes and hundreds of thousands of year’s worth of human medical history just been thrown out the window?
Expectantly, Fox entered some amateur WOMEN’S competitions in 2011 and won all 3 fights. Then went pro and won two more fights. Fox went on for 2 years before the MMA found out about the significant advantage of going through puberty with testosterone. Fox “knew it would come out eventually” but I guess decided to hide it? Why?
Direct Quotes:
Fallon Fox was a little boy, just 5 years old, when she first sensed the disconnect, that the body she had wasn’t the body she felt she should.
She was male, yet felt female. She tried to be a straight man, even fathering a child at 19, but nothing was right. After a stint in the military, she returned to find the stress of not feeling comfortable in her own body nearly overwhelm her. Finally she scoured the Internet for an answer and there it was: she was transgender.
She came clean to her family and friends – a painful, difficult ordeal that wasn’t met with understanding. “At the time, they weren’t supportive.” She went through counseling. She became a truck driver to raise money for a procedure and in 2006, she flew all alone to Thailand for “gender reassignment surgery.”
The road to realization for transgender people is incredibly lonely and difficult. It is a trail lined with casualties. Suicide. Depression. Drugs. Alcoholism. There’s no way to even count everyone suffering from identity issues – so many just internalize the pain and destroy themselves quietly, their struggles unknown to even those closest to them.
You make it through all of that and come out the other side at peace with yourself for the first time in your life and, well, you don’t want to hear about what some say you shouldn’t be able to do.
While the 37-year-old fighter understands the questions and concerns from fans who find it unfair for a one-time man to fight a woman, she can only point to the science of a sex-change,
So she’s fighting no matter what anyone else thinks or says. She isn’t going to argue why the science clears her, she’ll let the boxing commissions – not historically known as groups swayed by political correctness – do it for her.
You don’t wait decades to truly start your life by engaging in a major medical procedure in face of condemnation by much of society, including many closest to you, to suddenly worry about what others think. Her entire life has been about ignoring how society defined her.
She wasn’t seeking to become a professional athlete when, in an attempt to shed some pounds a few years back, she went looking for a good workout routine. She stumbled upon MMA and began putting together disciplines.
In 2011, she entered some amateur competitions and won all three fights. Then, she turned pro and won twice more. She never told anyone about her background. It finally broke earlier this year, when the Florida commission discovered something unusual.
“I knew it would come out eventually,” she said, “and I always expected a certain amount of backlash.”
She knows that will never be the case again. She is now an unexpected role model for transgender athletes.
