  1.  @family_friendlykids  You have about the same odds of having a trans male son as a trans female daughter. That hypothetical trans male son would likely be into all those things you describe. Heck, there are a number of trans females that into those things too. I know quite a few of them, the reality is not all trans females are ultra girly. Bottom line is that the job of a parent is to support their kids. If that's not paramount and you plan on loving them only conditionally, then don't have kids. There are plenty of other worthy things to do with one's time and capital. You can also have more than one kid. It's a 50/50 dice roll to have a son or daughter whether they be cisgender or transgender. This is a topic I know and think a great deal about. I'm bisexual. I'm into hunting, fishing, working out, motorcycles and cars, and even girls too. Dad still disowned me. We never talked again after that day until he died of cancer 10 years later. I'm sure Dad was sorry he ever had a kid, and it made me wonder why he bothered at all. Something to think about at least, before you go and start manufacturing life yourself.

  2. Chicken breast and bratwurst go great together though. Combo set!

  3.  @amethyst1826  Some trans women think of themselves as a 3rd sex. There is a cultural history of that in many countries in SE Asia. Other trans women do think of themselves as women. It depends on the person, and that's fine. There are some trans men that transition. Some think of themselves as Toms, in Thailand. Others think of themselves as men. In general fewer trans men have bottom surgery as compared with trans women. My wife is a Thai trans woman. If you have any questions, just ask.

  4.  @amethyst1826  Thai people have all their own Thai words to describe trans women. Kathoey and sao praphet song (women of the second type) are common. 3rd gender isn't a ranked list like a podium finish where you're getting the bronze medal. It's just a common historical way to describe someone not exactly in the gender binary in SEAsia. India for example has a legally recognized option for 3rd gender trans people that is not male or female. Some western countries do this as well for people that don't fit into the gender binary. Clearly all our genders are perfectly valid and one isn't better than another.

  5. Trans women are women to me and millions of others that support trans people in their gender identity.

  6. Being a trans woman is more difficult than being a man. Cross dress and go on some job interviews and see how you do. I’ll wait.

  7. What about trans men like Buck Angel in the women's bathroom?

  8. Radiation? From where? Thailand has no nuclear power or nuclear weapons nor any uranium mines.

  9. Unfortunately she is not a ladyboy.

  10. Observation bias plays a big role. FTMs are much more low key, aren’t visible due to sex work and once the testosterone masculinates the female body they are quite hard to spot. I’m not disputing that there are more MTF than FTM it’s just nearly as overwhelming as it at first seems. Look up some transgender statistics. The numbers of FTM are growing more rapidly as they gain their own unique social acceptance.

  11.  @sergiodelrioreyes7655  That’s kind of you to say. Here’s to a more wholesome 2024 where people can disagree with each other and not feel the need to virtually eviscerate each other. Know hope!

  12. I married a Thai trans woman. What do you want to know? I’ve never heard of anyone doing a karyotype test to determine chromosomes.

  13. Only several hundred other people in the comments.

  14. Thai trans women can’t legally marry their husbands in Thailand. Thai trans women can’t legally change their legal gender. Thailand is an LGBT rights desert. My wife is a Thai trans woman and it’s for these reasons that we live in California and not in Thailand.

  15. Thailand has no use for your Abrahamic desert fairy tales. There are vanishingly few Christians in Thailand.

  16. I just tell them my wife is a Thai ladyboy and confirm all their suspicions all at once. Saves time.

  17.  @StevanOutdoor  Thailand is a great place and the price is right if you can get a cheap flight. My trans girl and I have been together for 19 years now. Marrying her was the best decision I ever made. Good luck in your dating adventures!

  18.  @StevanOutdoor  500 euro is quite a bargain. The cheapest I’ve ever seen here in California is about 600. If wilderness survival is your thing, you should head to the north above Chiang Mai and make friends with some local not well off people that live very close to the land. It’s all survival all the time for them. There are also a lot of hilltribe native people like the Ankah or Karen that also live off the land quite expertly. Tons of independent tour guides would be happy to take you to some real native villages. You will be amazed at how far 10 euro worth of food and a 6 pack can take you sometime. You can be grilling giant water bugs and snakes under a bamboo lean to in a remote rice field drinking beers before you know it! Ha! Thai people have a lot good will and are generally quite interested at making friends with random foreigners. Especially if you’re buying which is pretty trivial compared to prices for anything in Brussels. The real problem Is the language barrier but a guide can really help with that. Good luck! If you have any questions, just ask!

  19.  @StevanOutdoor  I don’t have any girls or ladyboys that I could recommend to you in Bangkok, but that’s going to be easily done with any dating app like ThaiFriendly, Badoo or Tinder. I think you’ll really enjoy your time up north. November through Feb would be by pick. Temperatures are good and you don’t want to go when they are burning the rice fields and the air quality is low (from smoke) from March to April. The hot season (March to May) is also really hot there (but not as bad if you’re up in the mountains. If you’re into eating crazy things Thailand certainly has you covered! Good luck in your adventure tired up there! Your biggest danger will be liking it so much you may not want to come back! Ha! My wife and I will retire to Chiang Mai in about 10 years. Can’t wait.

  20.  @StevanOutdoor  Cool. Hope you have a good trip!

  21.  @saff4997  There is ethically produced porn, you realize. It is not hard to find.

  22. Nah. I don’t need to know if you’re trans or not.
    2
  23. Aha. Ok. Now that makes sense!

  24. Gender is in the eye of the beer holder.

  25.  @afrosamurai4465  I’m all for inter species marriage. No argument here.
    2
  26. No, that’s a trans man. Check the dictionary.

  27. My wife is a Thai trans woman. There are pros and cons of being trans in Thailand compared to the west.
    2
  28.  @carolineJakovinen  Sure. The general population understands transgender women quite well. It's been a cultural aspect of Thai culture for hundreds of years. Thai people are almost all Buddhists and have never been colonized so they don't have a Christian derived sin / sinner mindset. Thai people are particularly good at minding their own business, in general. Harassment or violence is going to be a very rare event in Thailand which may not be the case in the west (depending on where you are). That said, it is a legal black hole for LGBT rights in Thailand. No marriage equality. No ability to change your legal gender. No adoption. Very weak discrimination law. My wife and I live in California now but look forward to retiring in Thailand in about 10 years. We've been together for 20 years and legally married in California for 10. It's very much worth visiting Thailand if you get the chance. Happy to answer any other questions you have, just ask.

  29.  @carolineJakovinen  That’s what happens when you don’t have a functioning democracy in Thailand, unfortunately. I’ve never been to Brazil. I hear a lot of conflicting reports about what it’s like to be trans there. Some good about acceptance and the necessary laws being in place but also reports of terrible violence against LGBT people. Is the trans violence mostly connected to the sex worker and drug world? I know that’s mostly the case in the US. Are you married or have a boyfriend (or a girlfriend) in Brazil?

  30.  @carolineJakovinen  Thanks for letting me know. I look forward to visiting São Paulo or Rio someday. Wishing you the best from California. Stay strong, girl. Cheers.

  31.  @carolineJakovinen  Many thanks. My wife and I try to make it to Thailand every year, if our schedule allows. Happy to answer any tourist questions you have, just ask! Be sure to get away from Bangkok and visit Chiang Mai in the north and Phuket and the islands in the south.

  32.  @linming5610  India has had third genders long before Columbus sailed the Atlantic. Why not blame them? Thailand took a vast amount of cultural capital from India, no?

  33. How do Thai heterosexuals sound gay when speaking Thai? Makes no sense.
    2
  34. Sure. You can match gay guys on Tinder.
    2
  35. Just substitute "Self Hating" in place of "Ex" and it all makes sense.
    2
  36. I sure hope so too. It’s a vast waste of talent for every country that discriminates against LGBT people.

  37. I think she’s well aware that she’s a trans women. What’s wrong with complimenting someone?

  38. My father disowned me but eventually my mom came around after Dad died.

  39. SRS and breasts, including hotel is going to be somewhere around $25,000 from Dr. Suporn. From Dr. Thep SRS and breasts and hotel is going to be somewhere around $12,000. FFS varies quite a bit, depending on what you're having done. Some faces need a lot, others a little.
    2
  40. Sure. What other questions do you have? My wife is a Thai trans woman so I know quite a lot about all things related.
    2
  41. Not to me and millions of others that support LGBT people.
    2
  42. Thailand is vastly better for LGBT people but they still have a long way to go on legal reforms and marriage equality. I’m bi my wife is a Thai trans woman.
    2
  43. For many LGBT people all over Asia this is a VERY important discussion to have. Maybe you don't care but I'd bet you care a whole lot more if it was you that was facing all manner of social and state discrimination and legal inequality.. There is room for all kinds of content. Obviously covering other topics is important but so is this topic. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to watch it. It's clearly labeled is it not?

  44. ​ @Rorschach771  I am reading what you wrote. There are no other videos from Asian Boss about transgender people in Indonesia aside from this one. I and many other people who care a great deal about trans people in many countries all over Asia do want to see this coverage. Honestly, I'd like to see VASTLY MORE coverage in EVEN MORE countries all over Asia about trans women and trans men. You're welcome to not watch them. I'll watch them twice in your honor.
    2
  45.  @Rorschach771  You do you but the percentage of trans Asian Boss videos is really low if you actually evaluate the entire uploads folder. Happy viewing elsewhere.

  46. Yikes. Are you talking about Brazil?
    2
  47.  @daisymururu1051  Wow. Ok. I see what you mean. That has to be one of the most difficult places in the world to be LGBT. I imagine gay or trans people just pretend to be regular straight people or suffer this kind of violence, right? I imagine some LGBT people try to leave to go to better places in Africa, right? Where would they usually go from Kenya if they can? Rwanda? Botswana? South Africa?

  48. Ha. Being gay was depathologized by the APA / DSM in 1974, not 2014. Were you even alive at that time? Here you are still making excuses.

  49. No doubt US trans adolescents face all kinds of abuse from other transphobic Americans. It's a different story in Thailand.

  50. Inexperience with trans people is what primarily perpetuates this fear. All polling shows that (generally) experience with LGBT people is the central predictor of support for LGBT rights unless there is a very strong religious component to their beliefs about sexual orientation that overrides it.
