[edpc]

It’s been years in the making, but Patricio Manuel finally made it back in the ring on Saturday night.

The 34-year-old and former U.S. Olympic boxing hopeful not only made his professional fighting debut and beat Hugo Aguilar by unanimous decision at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California, on Saturday, but he made history, becoming the first transgender male to fight professionally in the United States.

The victory was by decision, against an opponent with an 0-5 record. This seems like a fixed fight PR stunt.

So,is this creature a female with an added accessory,or a male that is missing something? The story is not very clear about this.

Ok,I clicked on the link and discovered it is a female with an accessory.

I guess this means that professional boxing now allows steroid and other drug use by pro boxers?

I just saw another "transgender" playing in the women's game is causing a stir overseas. It could be of all things, rugby or track. I saw some pictures of it.
