Trans Alana McLaughlin wins MMA debut

[Prince.Skeletor]

Alana McLaughlin, the second openly transgender woman to compete in MMA in the United States, won her debut Friday night via submission at the Combate Global prelims in Miami, Fla.

The 38-year-old used a rear-naked choke against Celine Provost to end the match 3 minutes, 32 seconds into the second round.

McLaughlin, who began her gender transition after leaving the U.S. Army Special Forces in 2010, said she hopes to be a pioneer for transgender athletes in combat sports.

“I want to pick up the mantle that Fallon put down,” McLaughlin told Outsports before the fight, referring to Fallon Fox, who in 2012 became the first transgender woman to fight in MMA. “Right now, I’m following in Fallon’s footsteps. I’m just another step along the way and it’s my great hope that there are more to follow behind me.”

Oh ya they care, I remember watching something, they interviewed female runners for track, gymnastics, competitive contact sports all sorts of sport genres and the women mostly say they are scared to speak up.
If they do they will lose endorsements, contracts, and will get their career destroyed on twitter.

I'll try and find the video
