    Great Muay Thai Documentary Short - PTT Petchrungruang

    in Open Topics - men and women - General Muay Thai Discussion and News

    It's hard to overstate how sweet the guy is. It's kind of amazing. And as he's gotten older he's developed some movie star looks, so people are clamoring over the rights to him.

    The film also was shot and made by a Thai which seems to, at least to me, give it a different feel that very similar films made by western eyes.

    It's beautifully shot. I appreciated the English language voiceover, sometimes I have a hard time reading subtitles.

    Anger Over the Bottom Rope For Women - And Race

    in Kevin's Corner - Muay Thai, Philosophy & Ethics

    Posted

    This image and rant crossed my facebook feed. I loved the initial image, it felt very powerful and pro-woman to me and I wanted to give it a thumbs up. Unfortunately reading the rant below it ruined the image for me. "Liking" the image felt like co-signing the rant. The ranter managed to get his digs in at Western female fighters fighting in Thailand and strip Thai female fighters of their agency at the same time.

    IOC Revises Guidelines for Transgender Athletes

    in Open Topics - men and women - General Muay Thai Discussion and News

    The International Olympic Committee has revised their guidelines for transgender athletes. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/transgender-athletes-olympics_us_56a5bc6ee4b0d8cc109a8e9

    The International Olympic Committee's medical officials announced Sunday that trans men will be able to compete "without restriction" and trans women will only need to undergo one year of hormone replacement therapy, according to a new policy initially reported in Outsports. Previous guidelines, in place since 2003, mandated athletes undergo gender reassignment surgery as well as two years of hormone therapy. The Associated Press notes the new guidelines aren't rules that other sports bodies must follow, but rather a set of recommendations to match changing attitudes and updated scientific consensus regarding transgender people. The guidelines should apply as soon as this year's Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. You can read them in their entirety here.

     

    There was a great discussion on the Ronda Rousey thread about cisgender and transgender women competing together.
