Controverse arises about gender identity in the coming fight. The Japanese kickboxer Panchan Rina ignited controversial days for her planned match against the Thai microeight champion “AMP the Rocket” Suwanan Boonsorn by questioning the gender identity of her opponent.
Gender confusion in Japanese MMA
Panchan, who has a professional record of 19 victories, one loss and one draw about kickboxing, posted a message on social media stating that she couldn’t care about whether Bonsorn’s ‘heart is male or female’, but asked that Bonsorn shaves her beard for fighting evening.
The post caused rapid criticism from fans and fellow hunters. Commentators noted that Bonsorn, born on 14 June 1996 in Bangkok, was registered as a female at the United Arab Emirates Jiu-Jitsu Federation, for which athletes should present passports at Weighting. Thailand does not allow legal changes to gender markers on passports or civilian registers, indicating that Bonsorn has been female since birth. Suwanan Boonsorn was born wife and competes against women in MMA and Jiu-Jitsu.
Various critics characterized Panchan’s comments as more than typical trash can. An observer wrote: “If you are a hunter, show respect for your opponent. The opponent is a woman, you know? Remove it.” Another argued that messages that imply Bosorn are biologically male risk that fans mislead and unfairly undermine her reputation.
