NEED TO WATER PLANT ON SENSITIVE ISSUE
Female MMA Fighter Fallon Fox
San Francisco, CA– I think I might need to preface this story a little bit with some of my life experiences. Being born in San Francisco and starting Kindergarden in the Castro district exposed me to the Gay lifestyle at an early age. After high school my being the only straight haircutter in a big shopping mall shop was never a burden or issue. My best partner when I was a cop was Gay.
THAT BEING SAID, I’M ANTI-FALLON FOX
I guess you by now read or heard about Fallon Fox, the MMA fighter born a man and now fighting as a female in Florida. For the past 4 or 5 weeks I have asked this question to just about everybody I met. I’m talking about flight attendants, janitors, haircutters, construction guys, cops, and oh yeah a number of transgender (male to female) in a recent work gig. Although two people did not offer an opinion, everybody else thought that it was unfair for Fallon to be fighting chicks.
ROOKIE COP LEARNED BIG LESSON
About 10:30 one night while assigned to the Tenderloin part of town which could best be described as the red light district of the city, we responded to a call on Eddy St. The dispatcher said there was a major fight going outside of a bar. Upon our arrival, there were a few people prone on the sidewalk and there was a fight with two guys on what I thought was a girl. Keep in mind I hadn’t been on the street eight weeks, but two on one and males on female, I was ready to leap from the car when my Training Officer told me to stay put.
SUBURBAN GUYS GRAB AT THEIR OWN RISK
What was going on here was these were six guys from Orinda, a city some 35 miles or so from San Francisco, had gone into this Transgender bar and got drunk. When they couldn’t get any action, they began to insult the regulars. From what we learned, the not so gentlemen from across the bay got grabby and things got even more heated. When they tried to assert their ill fated machismo, one talk lanky Transgender male to female began fighting all six of these clowns.
FOUR HORIZONTAL ON SIDEWALK
Again, upon our arrival there were four dudes prone on the sidewalk. Oh, remember those two guys that were fighting when we rolled up? Well, they too got knocked the **** out! Six males of decent size take on one lanky Transgender male to female and are left sprawling on the sidewalk. So when I heard about Fallon fighting females after undergoing hormone treatment, this incident in what is known as the 3 Adam 1 sector immediately came to mind.
MITRIONE’S NICKNAME IS “MEATHEAD”
Matt “Meathead” Mitrione
Recently UFC heavyweight Matt MitrIone said some inappropriate things about Fallon Fox. Look this is a PC world and you’ve got to watch out what you’re saying when you’re representing an organization. The UFC has suspended the 6-2 fighter and may end up cutting him from the roster. And while I’m not here to defend him, I will expand on one issue that Mitrione hit on that was right. If Fallon didn’t tell the Florida Athletic Commission, she may indeed be a liar!
TWO UNKNOWING CHICKS FELT THE DIFFERENCE
The two women that have faced the 5’7 (144 lbs.) Fox say they did not know before their fights that they were against a Transgender male to female fighter. Fallon knocked out one girl in 20 seconds within incredible knee to the head, the other lasted two minutes with Fox. Seeing both fights were in Florida, it is the Florida Commission feeling the heat ever since this went viral. The Association of Boxing Commissions has a working Transgender policy.
FIRST TRANSGENDER PRO ATHLETE SAYS “NO” TO FALLON FIGHTING GIRLS
Transgender tennis player Renee Richards was born Richard Raskin, a male. When he had the surgery Fox had and tried to enter the 1978 US Open as a female, Richards was denied entrance until the New York Supreme Court ruled in her favor. Richards was in her mid-40s and was a very slow player who lumbered around the courts. But her serve and ability to hit the ball harder than any other female opponent. Richards said it is unfair to allow Fox to fight females.
FOX PROMOTER SAYS IT IS UNFAIR TOO!
Last Saturday during the MMA hour of Ring Talk Worldwide, noted writer/author Dave Meltzer said a friend of his had promoted Fox. But after watching Fallon fight a girl, he won’t be having Fallon on his cards anymore. Meltzer said, “He thinks it is unfair and if somebody who stands to make money on this says it is, it just might be. We had a (WrestlingObserver.com) poll and 96% thought it was unfair.”
REDUNDANCY…I KNOW
Again in closing, I support the LGBT community and their right to be themselves, to live in peace sans discrimination, but allowing Fallon Fox to fight as a female in the opinion of this ex-fighter truly is unfair.
