This is someone I identify with, someone I can see
by Lin Luan LIN NFL Shop Despite these feelings, Fox fathered a child at 19. She returned from a stint in the Navy, and became a truck driver to raise money for the 2006 reassignment surgery, in Thailand. Around 2008, a trainer at Fox's gym introduced her to MMA. "I saw that there were other female fighters out there," Fox says. "It just hooked me in. Women were fighting? That's awesome. It was empowering and wonderful to watch. And I wanted to be just like them."polarized sunglasses

This is Fox's third pro fight. Nobody has lasted more than two minutes in the cage with her. Now, she's not only fighting for herself, but for transgender acceptance. "I'm impressed that the CFA is sticking its neck out and letting her fight," says Dr. Christopher Estes, a professor of clinical obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Miami Health System. "And Fallon Fox has a lot of guts too. She's bringing transgender identity to the forefront. We're now having a discussion – where do transgender folks fit into society? People struggling with these issues can say, 'This is someone I identify with, someone I can see.' She validates people."
To Fox, the reaction to her bouts is like the response to MMA at the start. "People thought that MMA fighters were going to kill each other in the cage," says Fox. "That just hasn't happened." Over time, her critics may not be as hysterical. "It's just an educational thing that needs to happen with people," she says. For now, she's trying her best to drown out the negativity. "Every day I wake up and see myself in the mirror, it's a high moment," Fox says. "I know who I am. And it feels really good to be who I am."

It will be 20 years ago this September that Israeli and Palestinian leaders reached a historic Declaration of Principles, the forerunner to the Oslo Accords, which were intended to lead to a permanent peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians. The homestretch was yet to be negotiated, but what awaited at the finish was clear: a Palestinian state next to the Israeli one – a deal based on the concept of two states for two peoples.
