Rob Newbiggin Will Undergo Sex-Change Operation

Rob Newbiggin, 44, father of three, a boxer, who is becoming a woman named Mercedes. Rob Newbiggin’s sex change follows his upcoming boxing match. After the sex change is over, he is going to fight as a woman. Will the boxing companies allow him to do the fight? Newbiggin ’s achieved a lackluster boxing record over 20 years

Is this just a coincidence? Newbiggin says he has been a woman since age 3. Newbiggin also currently dresses as a woman. “I have had a 20-year boxing career but was living a lie. I’ve wanted to be a woman since I was three.”

Undetermined whether a man or woman. Rob Newbiggin says that he was born "intersexual" in the United States in 1964 and abandoned by his South American parents. After living in a number of foster homes, he was finally adopted by a Canadian couple.

Rob Newbiggin said, that since revealing his plans to undergo a sex-change operation, he has been abandoned by many of his friends and has decided to move out of Southport - a town that he loves - because it has become too emotionally uncomfortable for him to continue to live there. He is deeply saddened by his friends' lack of support and understanding. Quite sad and unfortunate for Rob.

Once Rob Newbiggin's sex change operation is complete, he will have to take female hormones and undergo a psychological evaluation before surgery he hopes to get a license to continue boxing as a woman. When the transformation is complete, he will go by the name Mercedes.

Well, Rob Newbiggin sex-change story brings Chastity Bono to mind. In case you may not know, Chastity Bono is the daughter of the legendary singer-actress Cher and the late Sonny Bono. It has been reported in multiple news outlets that Chastity Bono has decided to live as a man and started the sex change process months ago. When the process is complete Chastity Bono will become Chaz Bono.

There have been no reports that I know of, however, that indicate that Chastity Bono's friends have been anything but supportive of her decision to become a man but with Rob is opposite.

Larry Wachowski, "Matrix" co-director and producer was also reportedly in the process of undergoing a sex-change operation. Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton posted pictures on his website recently that appear to show Larry Wachowski looking very much like a woman.

The case of Rob Newbiggin's has forced many including me to honestly think about how I would feel if someone close to me decided to undergo a sex change operation most specially my friend. Would you reject them? or you would be supportive to them? Could you imagine a girlfriend like him/her?
