The Beautiful Boxer

I met the her….I met The Beautiful Boxer. Her name is Nong Toom. She introduced herself to me this way: ”I am Nong Toom, the beautiful boxer” . I knew about her because she really is a legend in Thailand and I have already seen the movie which I totally recommend (“The Beautiful Boxer’). She was born a boy and started thaiboxing at an early age to support her poor family and to save money for sex change surgery. She was one of the most renowned champions and the most controversial. Now she is fully a woman and I must admit she is beautiful. Everyone at the camp knows her and we get a kick out of the newcomers who are attracted to her and are completely shocked when they find out who she is. Well, we need to have some fun too. I had a short conversation with Nong Toom and being the only girl training at the camp it was easier to connect. She lives two doors away from my room. I am in H and she is in J. She is nice person and I have a lot of respect for her as a fighter but also for the courage she had, the courage to admit who she really is in a society and a world of male fighters who despised her choices. I hope to get to know her better and learn more about her and her life.
