"For Thai fighter Somros Polchareon, there are a few extra steps in preparing for a kickboxing bout.

Rose, as she is known to all, is one of a handful of transgender fighters at the top levels of Thailand's national sport, Muay Thai, a form of kickboxing that allows the use of elbows and knees as well as fists and feet. "
