O_0: Fallon Fox documentary about the trans MMA fighter
WAIT... IM CONFUSED... OOOOH' NOW I GET IT... I THINK I DO?!?!
FALLON FOX never wanted to talk about being transsexual. The professional MMA fighter who's been tearing through opponents has been a woman to her training partners and opponents for the last five years. Now, due to circumstances beyond her control, she's being forced out of the closet well before she was ready.
"For years I've known at some point it's very likely the shoe would drop," Fox told Outsports in a phone interview Tuesday. "Maybe someone would guess that I'm trans. Maybe they would know me from my life before I transitioned. I've been waiting for that phone call to happen. And Saturday night, it happened."
Fox was at dinner celebrating a victory when a call came through. It was from a reporter who asked probing questions that clearly lead to one conclusion: The reporter knew Fox's secret past. Within 48 hours she got a call from a former trainer who had been interviewed by the same reporter with the same questions. The secret of Fallon Fox was about to come out.
"These past six years, people have seen me as a woman, not a transsexual," she said. "People in the gym, people I train with, it's been great, it's been awesome. I'm just a woman to them. I don't want that to go away. It's unfortunate that it has to."
Born in the wrong body
Ten years ago, Fox told her parents that she felt like she was born in the wrong body. Her mother rejected the news. Her father told her she was actually a confused gay man. Fox insisted that she wasn't gay, and that she was mostly attracted to other women. Her father was unrelenting and put her in gay-conversion therapy. There she was treated by a gay-conversion therapist who tried to convince Fox that she was a gay man so that he could turn her into a straight man.
When the therapy sessions finally ended, Fox decided to start her sexual transition. She soon began hormone therapy that she has now been on for 10 years. Six years ago, she had gender reassignment surgery.
"For the longest time, my mother didn't want anything to do with me," Fox said. "I wasn't even allowed to come into her house or show up at her door. But as the years went on, they both started coming around a little bit."
That's taken a turn for the worse recently. Fox has not spoken to either of her parents in almost two years.
Shortly after her surgery, Fox took up MMA fighting. In the coming weeks and months she found a love for it. Over the last five years, it has become the reason she gets up in the morning. It is her life's passion.
"I get to train and hit on the bag and let some aggression out," Fox said. "And I love being out in front of the crowd when I compete. I love displaying my skill. All the hours of hard work and training, and you go out there and get to display what you've learned. At least when you lose, you know you tried your best. That fight experience is intoxicating."
She has also become a dominant fighter. In her last match, this past Saturday just hours before the phone call that precipitated her coming out, Fox used a knee to the face to drop her opponent, Ericka Newsome, in 39 seconds.
Fox said she was confident going into that fight because of her preparation. She had watched tape on Newsome and saw she had a weakness: "Erica throws wild punches and doesn't defend her face." Very early in the match, Fox saw what she had seen on the tape, and she took the opening. With a smart, technical move she delivered a knee to Newsome's face and ended the match.

O_0: Fluoridation to end after 51 years
Windsor on Monday joined the growing number of municipalities which have voted to end the decades-old practice of adding fluoride to the water supply in the fight against tooth decay.
"A lot has changed in the last 60 years ... fluoride is not the be-all and end-all to prevent tooth decay," said Mayor Eddie Francis, who voted with the majority.
The motion to end fluoridation passed 8-3.
Council's rejection of fluoride after more than five hours of debate went contrary to the almost unanimous opinion of health and dental experts, as well as others with scientific backgrounds, present among the 27 delegations which spoke at the meeting.
"Do not be the municipal council known for making a health decision against the advice of your health advisers," said Dr. Mark Drkulec, president of the Essex County Dental Association.
The safety and the effectiveness of fluoride added to municipal water to help in the fight against tooth decay is "the general consensus of the scientific community," said Dr. Allen Heimann, the local medical officer of health.
"I'm using the best scientific information that is provided to me," he added, citing studies and reports from such agencies as Health Canada, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization.
But opponents of continuing with a practice that began more than 50 years ago in Windsor were quick to draw on their own list of experts, studies and reports to support their contention that Windsor should join the growing number of Canadian communities, including Lakeshore, Tecumseh, Amherstburg, Calgary and Waterloo, that have voted to end fluoridation.
"I want to be shown that when we ingest this, we are safe," said Kimberley DeYong of Fluoride Free Windsor.
She and others said not a single study among those cited by fluoridation proponents looked specifically at the industry-sourced chemical used by the municipality and its impact on human health outside of tooth enamel hardening.
The fluoride compound being added to Windsor's water supply, hydrofluorosilicic acid, would be illegal to dump in the environment and represents "the only chemical we're adding to our water for mass medication," said Ayesha Drouillard, another member of Fluoride Free Windsor.
Sixteen of the 27 delegations spoke in support of the Windsor Utility Commission's recommendation, made a year ago, to end fluoridation of Windsor's municipal water, which is also piped to the residents of LaSalle and Tecumseh. Going into the meeting, council also had 81 submitted written reports and letters to digest.
"We've been inundated with emails and reports," said Ward 8 Coun. Bill Marra. He asked why, with proponents so convinced of the continued "critical medical benefits" of fluoridation, the matter is left to individual municipal councils to decide.
"We're part-time politicians asked to overrule what the scientists are telling us," Ward 3 Coun. Fulvio Valentinis said prior to the meeting.
Ward 6 Coun. Jo-Anne Gig-nac said "it really ticks me off" that senior government has left the decision over continued fluoridation up to municipal councils to decide. She voted against any cessation.
London recently voted 10-5 in favour of continued fluoridation of municipal water.
"I'm not worried for my community," Bryna Warshawsky, acting medical officer of health for the Middlesex-London health unit, told Windsor's council.
Peter Van Caulart, director of the Environmental Training Institute that trains municipal waterworks operators, said there's been a 26 per cent drop in Canadian municipalities using fluoridation since 2005 and that in Niagara Falls, it was the first time council opposed its medical officer of health.
"That makes me nervous," Valentinis said of council going against what the health establishment was advising on a health issue. He voted against the motion by Ward 1 Coun. Drew Dilkens to cease fluoridation.
But Ward 4 Coun. Alan Hal-berstadt said pregnant women locally need to be advised of warnings of potential harm in preparing infant formula with fluoridated tap water.
He described as "paternalistic" the idea that the community has to be "medicated" without their consent in order to treat against tooth decay. "In Windsor, we have no choice but to drink the fluoride in the water," said Ward 7 Coun. Percy Hatfield.
Dr. Arthur Worth, president of the Ontario Dental Association, was among several fluoridation proponents who argued that it's a "cost-effective preventative strategy" that benefits "all members of the community," including low-income and vulnerable groups like new immigrants who might lack dental insurance.
Worth, a Chatham dentist, said he sees patients from Leamington and Kingsville, where there is no fluoridation, whose teeth are softer and have more cavities.
HOW THEY VOTED
For: Mayor Eddie Francis, Ron Jones, Al Maghnieh, Percy Hatfield, Alan Halberstadt, Drew Dilkens, Ed Sleiman, Bill Marra
Against: Fulvio Valentinis, Jo-Anne Gignac, Hilary Payne
