At the age of 34, Patricio Manuel has already made history twice.

On Dec. 12, 2018, he became the world’s first transgender boxer to compete in a professional fight — and he came away with a win, to boot.

On Sept. 26 he made history again when iconic boxing brand Everlast named him the face of its company — a position previously held by boxing legends Jack Dempsey, Sugar Ray Robinson and Canelo Álvarez.

Manuel started his boxing career as a female competitor in the early 2000s. He won five national amateur championships and even competed in the 2012 Olympic trials as a woman. But Manuel was eliminated from those trials after suffering a shoulder injury.

“a position previously held by boxing legends Jack Dempsey, Sugar Ray Robinson and Canelo Álvarez.”

Hilarious.

Canelo Alvarez eats **** as compared with Jack Dempsey and Sugar Ray Robinson.

A man who likes to hit women into submission.

He should be in jail.

And AB is on the sidelines.

We are in a very crazy reality

Patricio Manuel and Amita Swadhin might seem like an unlikely couple. One is a professional boxer, the other is an anti-violence advocate.

On testifying in front of Congress:

Swadhin: I felt a deep responsibility because I had been asked by the Democratic Party to testify on behalf of all survivors of sexual violence and all members of the LGBTQ population in the United States, so that’s literally millions of people ... I just really wanted to put into public record something that made sense for the people that I am in solidarity with and the communities that I’m a part of.

Amita Swadhin gives her opening remarks before the Senate Judiciary Committee during the nomination hearing of Jeff Sessions on January 11, 2017.

I think it’s just the beard and hair. But if a surgeon is willing to do it, cosmetic surgery can do a lot.

So, to sum it up in brief: a girl is boxing in the ring with boys.

Good grief, dude. Read the article first. Born a woman. Now fighting men.

Some of the contour changes could be the result of applying silicone. I have heard of tattoo addicts who decide to get ‘devils horns’ put onto the crown of their scalps.
Subdermal Implants, is what they are often called.
Perhaps this could be used to create a masculine looking jawbone.
