  1.  @aliciabell6688  I fail to see what this has to do with trans women. Sure LGBT people have raise children on average than heterosexual people but since there are so few LGBT people (just a few percent) it's not a significant source of a population decline. It's heterosexual cisgender people having fewer children since that's 95% of the population. HIV mortality rates are not impacting Thailand's population in a significant way, nor is having HIV a barrier to reproduction. I fail to see what dots you are trying to connect. There are 7.7 billion people in the world, growing by 83 million every year. I honestly fail to see the problem with people voluntary having fewer kids. You are aware that the planet has finite resources, yes?

  2. And today I find it strange that in 2022 that people don’t realize that being trans is just an uncommon aspect of the human condition.

  3. Step into a Muay Thai ring with a Thai pro fighter and test that theory.

  4. Every country has trans people. How many you see in a given society depends on how much discrimination they face for living the way they want.

  5. They are distinct from men quite obviously. Many are indistinguishable from cis women.

  6. Not true. You can see plenty in Mexico City and Oaxaca.

  7. The reason the LGBT community is loud in the west is because westerners aren’t nearly as good at minding their own business as Thai people are and so this is a reaction to decades of vitriol against their communities where the only way to get anything is to fight aggressively for it. At the same time all this noise has resulted in meaningful legal changes in the west which have greatly helped LGBT people over the decades. This is not the case in Thailand where Ladyboys cannot legally marry their husbands, can’t adopt, can be barred for being trans from private businesses and many other quality of life quality of life issues. Thailand is the world leader in sex change surgery. Doing as much as the rest of the world combined. Many Ladyboys in Thailand get surgery also. Satisfaction rates are about the same everywhere. There are plenty of mental health problems in the trans community in Thailand as well. These usually come down to difficult family, economic and social histories and are often intertwined with substance abuse. You’re just simply less likely to hear about these Thai stories in English. My wife is a Thai Ladyboy. We’ve been together for 20 years both in California and in Thailand and I know many LGBT people in Thailand and the west. Happy to answer any questions you have.

  8. Yes, trans people exist. What about it?

  9. Hugging a boy? Kissing a boy? What if your son murdered someone? What if your son stole a car from someone? Would you disown him on all those circumstances as well? What is your threshold for disownment?

  10. But mostly no.

  11. Thai people actually eat very little soy. Watch some Thai people eat sometime. Chicken, pork, seafood, veggies and herbs rice and noodles are the vast overwhelming majority of what Thai people eat. Too impossible to imagine a country that just treats Trans people decently so they’re not afraid to come out of the closet, is it?

  12.  @vlogafter3054  Some do and some don’t. Depends a lot on what they do for a living.

  13. Careful. You’ll end up marrying a trans girl like I did. Best decision I ever made.

  14. His worldview and psyche was completely wrecked by his mom killing herself and blaming him. He blames himself and can only escape that guilt by pretending that he’s not gay. Changing your sexual orientation is next to impossible. Try it some time. He needs some therapy to work out these issues with his mom’s so he can actually be gay and be able to sleep at the same time. Ex-gay ministries such as this always fall apart as the self hating gay men running them invariably break down. Look up Exodus International.

  15. Don’t turn a blind eye that most Thai trans women aren’t sex workers. You can see them working regular jobs all across untouristed Thailand. Plenty of Thai trans interviews all over youTube and they clearly have different personalities like any other human.

  16.  @aen9321  I know it’s really shocking for you to believe, but I'm not suppressing anyone's personal opinions. Feel free to expound as many transphobic opinions at any length you desire for as long as you wish. You've got the mic, let's hear it!

  17. This has nothing to do with CEOs. Trans women dominate nothing except dealing with tons of discrimination.

  18. This is exceedingly rare. If someone is so transphobic that they couldn’t stand to talk with a trans person then the onus is on them to put this in their dating profile. It’s easy. “Not interested in trans women.”

  19.  @StarChomp  Um, South Korea please. We don't want Asian Boss getting anyone killed outing them in North Korea.

  20. Born impotent? Are baby boys born with raging erections 24/7? Lol. No one is forcing anything. Watch some interviews with Thai trans women (there are literally hundreds on YouTube) you’ll discover that they had to fight long and hard to be accepted by their families and society. Most Thai trans women are not sexual workers. You can see them working salon and retail jobs all over Thailand.

  21. As you get older your parents will have less control of your life and you can do as you wish.

  22. Who uses “it” as their pronouns? All the Thai Ladyboys I’ve known have been fine with “her” and are actually using Thai female speech. They’re putting in a ton of work to look female .

  24. Thailand is 90% Buddhist and has little use for the Abrahamic god or this crazy numerology of yours. They’re doing just fine.

  26. Trans women are women to me. Why should trans people listen to you over themselves?

  27. You’re living your life for other people or for yourself?

  28. What does the crime of child prostitution have to do with law abiding trans women?

  32. What other LGBT myths do you believe in?

  33.  @afrosamurai4465  How many Thai trans women have you talked with to know their life history so well that you can make such sweeping generalizations? You can’t imagine the possibility that someone just wants to use their freedom to look the way they want? You are aware that Thailand and much of South Asia has had a cultural role for trans women since antiquity, right?

  34.  @Lumantrix  Tell me about it. I ended up marrying a Thai ladyboy. Best decision I ever made. If you have any questions, just ask.

  35. Unbelievable denial of self caused by childhood traumatic events.

  36. The poll metrics from every developed country show a steady increase in support for LGBT marriage equality and equal rights. If that’s failure, I want more of it. Go look them up. Gallup and Pew are The gold standard in the US polling. Whatever we’re doing is working and working well. Sure it will eventually level off and you’ll never get that last 15%, in the same way that that a small segment of people will never support interracial marriage. I’ve been around a long time and I’ve seen the entire sea change in LGBT rights in the west and the bad old days when the approval ratings were upside down. Asia still has a long way to go but Taiwan, Thailand and Hong Kong are leading the way, slowly.

  39. Powerlifting MMA fighting lesbians with a vast criminal history of female sexual assault are allowed in women’s restrooms. The rate of trans women assaulting cis women in public restrooms is almost nonexistent. Slip and fall injuries in restrooms is a vastly bigger problem by comparison. Bottom line is that trans women are women to me and to millions of others that support trans women. As such their place is in the women’s restroom. In dozens of countries around the world this is the law, there are not endemic problems there and so it should be too across the Philippines. Disagree all you like. No words you could put together could possibly change my mind.

  40. To you, not to me and many others that support trans people in their gender identity.

  41.  @AutumnFallsOver  There are billions of people on this planet in hugely varied circumstances . “Coming out” can be as uneventful as coming out as left handed in a progressive place. or it could mean that you’re arrested and jailed for decades in the Middle East. The key is understanding that it’s the history of convincing heterosexuals through repeated exposure that being LGBT is natural and normal and then hearts and minds change. Sometimes a little in a progressive place or sometimes a lot in an ultra conservative place. Some level of discomfort is simply the price that LGBT people have collectively paid and do pay to enact a sea change in collective LGBT treatment in that society. Uncomfortable conversations matter but of course you can choose to do whatever you wish. I’m just asking you to see this in broader context.

  42. Yes and no. There are no LGBT laws in Thailand. Ladyboys can’t legally marry their husbands and can’t change their legal gender on their ID in Thailand. These are commonplace in many western countries.
    4
  43. It’s not the moral high ground. It’s what every country that has marriage and full LGBT legal equality has done and what every country that doesn’t has failed to do, including Japan. Asia is also not a monolithic block. The differences between Japan and Thailand are night and day and Thailand is on the cusp of legalizing same sex relationships and taking a big step forward to do right by it’s LGBT citizens because they have done this activism, awareness raising and public debate AND simultaneously winning hearts and minds.

  44. Mark K, what you’re saying is GENERALLY true but you don’t speak for each and every trans woman from Thailand. This is millions of people and in any large population you’re going to have a diversity of opinion. Some see themselves as men. Some see themselves as a 3rd gender. Others see themselves as outside the gender binary in various ways. Some see themselves as women. My wife is a Thai trans woman. We moved to the US. She’s legally female here. We’re legally married. “Husband and wife” so said the county clerk. She changed her name. She uses female pronouns. She sees herself as female and others, many of whom don’t know she’s trans, just think of her as any other woman.

  45. That trans women exist?
    4
  46. Is it? Trans women can’t legally marry their husbands nor change their legal gender in Thailand. Nor can they adopt and a huge host of other legal rights that are standard in the US. My wife is a Thai trans woman and it’s for all these reasons we live in California and not Thailand.

  47.  @thisismetoday  We’ve walked down the streets in Charlotte and all over the US and as well as Thailand. No one imagines that she’s trans in the US. Bangkok has way better food options compared to Charlotte so she’d probably prefer that street. That said, she does love pulled pork, crab bisque, shrimp and grits and doesn’t mind peach cobbler although it’s pretty sweet for her Thai tastes. Happy to answer any other theoreticals you have. We’ve been together for 20 years and have been all around the world.

  48.  @razatiger22  No women over 60 have children or have periods either. Having periods or the ability to have children isn’t what makes someone a woman. Gender is between your ears not between your legs.

  49. This.

  50. It depends. Opinions vary widely in the US from total hatred in some communities to almost universal acceptance. Rural Mississippi is nothing like downtown San Francisco. There is no marriage equality in Thailand so trans women can’t legally marry their husbands and also can’t legally change their gender. These rights have been commonplace in the US for many years now.
