Thai Transgender Fighter Nong Rose Fights for Thairath TV Stadium Title Posted on April 25, 2017April 25, 2017 By Angela Chang This is Nong Rose Banjaroensuk (น้องโรส บ้านเจริญสุข):Taylor Weidman/Getty ImagesThose who have no idea who she is may start laughing because she wears mascara and lipstick when she fights. They may think it’s a joke and that it’s “cute” a kathoey (Thai for transgender) is getting in the ring.Photo from abc.net.auBut those laughs are silenced as soon as she starts fighting. Nong Rose has fought over 200-300 times and that is no laughing matter. She is often severely underestimated by her opponents and the gamblers, which can often work to her advantage. In an article done by Vice, Nong Rose recounts of how opponents sometimes refuse to fight her, and some of those who choose to fight her will make fun of her.A post shared by น้องโรส บ้านเจริญสุข (@ros_job) on Mar 25, 2017 at 10:01pm PDTThis Saturday at Thairath TV, Nong Rose will fight Sayanlek Sayangym (สายันต์เล็ก สายันต์ยิม) for the 115 pound Thairath title.
