  1.  @载一路月光  You’re never going to stop dedicated telecom engineers from accessing porn. I guarantee it. Take down every ISP and outbound router in Thailand if you like, makes no difference. Just raises the price. Satellite. Point to point wireless oner the Laos border. International Dial up. Stopping the internet is impossible. If you want porn at the South Pole that too is completely possible with the right engineering team.

  2. Plenty of internet commentary from people whom have never been to Thailand. Unfortunately transphobia is very common.

  3. @다이아나다이아나 Those women can complain all they want. Gretechen has every right to be in the restroom and the job of the janitress is to clean the restroom not to drag people down to the security office. The janitress has since issued an apology letter.

  4. The bible doesn't speak. It's a book. Discrimination however does speak, and often loudly. These trans girls in the video hear it all the time.

  5. I’m bisexual. A trans woman looks and feels nothing like a man. The trans women in the thumbnail look nothing like men.

  6. Look at the crime data about molestation. The overwhelming majority of occurrences is by a cisgender male relative in someone’s home, not in a public restroom by a stranger and definitely not by a trans women whom is primarily concerned about her own safety. If you want to improve the security in restrooms pay to have a restroom attendant stationed in the restroom who can radio security in case there are any problems.

  7. Exactly!

  8.  @lgbtgotnolife9415  I will never support LGBT discrimination. All religions should change to support LGBT people. Abrahamic religions did a reversal on slavery and they can do it again. It’s simply a question of enough people recognizing that it is wrong to discriminate against LGBT people.

  9.  @pandaonsteroids5154  There is also a long cultural history of a 3rd gender social role in South Asia and SE Asia going back centuries. Hijra in India. Hhwaja sira in Pakistan, etc. Europe and it's colonies didn't have this tradition so it's consequently less common although surely gender nonbinary people do exist, and these folks are asserting their identity as is their right to do so.

  10. Trans women in much of the west can get married to men and change their legal gender. It is not a “toxic political environment” to be able to form a legal relationship with your spouse. It’s the right thing to do and all of Asia needs to do right by it’s LGBT citizens.

  11. Trans women are women to me.
    13
  12. Black women are women. Trans women are woman. They both bring unique and important attributes to the sphere of womanhood that should be acknowledged and celebrated.
    13
  13. It surprising how few people realize such a basic fact.
    13
  14.  @a.o721  You realize that in a pluralistic society including hundreds of thousands of Thai trans people the answer can only be both, right? Trans people, like all people, have different convictions and circumstances and they consequently do what feels right for them individually.

  15. 1. You’re not likely to get an answer from lookgate whom hasn’t been active in the thread for many weeks. 2. It’s an opinion that there are many trans women in Thailand whom have many different views on ideal gender identity legislation? It’s completely impossible for that to not be a fact. 3. What exactly are you trying to ascertain? Are there LGBT activists pushing for their own unique legislation? Yes. Are there trans women uninterested in politics and satisfied with the status quo? Yes. It’s a country of 70 million people, a few percent of which are trans and you’re expecting that all trans people are going to feel exactly the same way?
    13
  16.  @tiptoe38  Trans people do accept the fact that they are trans. Every country around the world has trans people. Who are you to tell others how they live their own life?
    13
  17. Exactly this.

  18.  kokam2  She’s a trans woman. Everyone we know knows she’s a trans woman. She’s not deceiving anyone about anything. I fail to see why this is disgusting. Explain it to me.

  19.  @dameraya5532  Bisexual. I like all the chocolates in the box. If you want to reduce your potential relationships by 50% right off the top, that’s up to you.

  20. Most people who have HIV per capita are heterosexuals in Africa. If you’re interested in making law by HIV transmission risk, heterosexuals are a higher risk vector than lesbians. Let’s make heterosexual sex illegal then. You can see the absurdity of such policy.

  21.  @kai-fc1ny  I’m sure you can see why I care more about his topic than most people.

  22. While it seems so, trans women can’t legally their husbands and trans women can’t legally change their gender and there is little enforceable discrimination law and that severely impacts LGBT folks in Thailand. My wife is a Thai trans woman and it’s for these reasons we live in California and not in Thailand.
    12
  23. @다이아나다이아나 Trans women are women to me and to millions of other people that support LGBT people. Believe whatever you wish.

  24. Found the transphobe.

  25.  @yerri5567  Ah, Bill C-16. It is entirely appropriate for gender identity and expression to be added to the list of identifiable groups for hate speech. Hate speech directed at trans and gender non binary individuals should be treated the same as hate speech on the basis of race, religion, or sexual orientation. C-16, as you know, doesn't criminalize proper pronoun usage. Offensive, sure. But criminal? No. Not unless it was accompanied by some other really nasty speech that promoted hatred towards trans and gender non-binary folks. If that's the case, I'm more than happy to be your direct enemy on this issue.
    12
  26. None of the above.
    12
  27.  @grassguy1154  That is correct. As I said, you have every right to believe in magical supernatural childish things. Knock yourself out. I’m never not going to think such things are stupid but you have every right to them. The world is a marketplace of ideas. What the government doesn’t have is a right to denying consenting same sex adults who love each other the ability to get legally married to legally protect their relationship and to participate fully in society. This is a basic human right and a basic task for a functional government to do right by her citizens. It is also the better socioeconomic choice having LGBT citizens fully integrated and contributing to society earning the most taxable revenue instead of oppressed and scuttling around on the margins of society. In time this will change in Indonesia as it has in the many and increasing number of countries around the world.

  28. Centuries, in fact.

  29. Very few Thai people aren't Christians, for one thing.

  30. I’m an atheist too. That said, in Thailand, as compared to the west I see a lot of people going to the temple very regularly. I have no doubt that that there are many others like you but all the same Thailand is actually very religious as a whole in comparison to many other western countries. That’s all I’m saying. Maintaining 40000 temples doesn’t happen if few people are religious in Thailand, after all.
    11
  31.  @inkyheaven  Too few men that love trans women speak up for them in public. I'm just trying to do the right thing and let people know that trans women and the people that they love exist are just regular people living regular lives and are deserving of full social equality and legal equality for their relationships.
    11
  32. Hello. Yes. As I said many comments ago the county clerk said “I now pronounce you husband and wife.” We are legally married in the US but can’t yet marry in Thailand, but laws are quickly changing there. Why not marry a cis woman, you ask? Well, I didn’t fall in love with a cis woman. I fell in love with a trans woman. You marry the person you fall in love with, not what strangers on the internet think you should do. Given that I have zero interest in having children, a trans woman is more ideal. No pregnancy risk. I’ve known many trans woman and I find that they have a pretty enlightened view of sex and gender that comes from deep existential and philosophical examination of themselves and overcoming substantial adversity in their lives. I find it makes for very good relationship partners. There is also a supply and demand part of the equation. Plenty of guys, like yourself probably have no interest in trans woman. Decent looking stand-up guys with good jobs that are not afraid to take a trans woman home to mom are not that common. Honestly I can pull beautiful intelligent trans woman way above my weight class compared to the comparative cis woman I could woo. Anyway I could go on. You get the idea. If I rerolled the random circumstances in my life it’s possible that I could have ended up with a cis woman. I’ve had longterm relationships with cis woman before. I’m perfectly happy now, so no regrets at all.

  33. Don’t try to force me to think that she’s not a real woman . She’s a real woman to me and she can expect that many other people will think so and treat her as such.
    11
  34. The existence of trans men and trans women makes you uncomfortable? Why? No one is forcing you to interact with them.
    11
  35. Thank you for this. So many comments here from people that have no experience with trans women.
    11
  36. Ask some Chinese trans people how difficult it is to be trans in China and you’ll have your answer. Visibility is a function of transphobia and discrimination. The less their is, the more you will see.

  37.  @asilaslapt1510  RT is just Russian propaganda and not surprisingly they propagate anti LGBT and anti American messaging. A very small percentage of the population is gay or lesbian as you would know if you took a serious look at any LGBT survey. 6 out of 10 (60%) is just fantasy. Besides, limited population decline is a good thing, and it is often the case that gays and lesbians have children by IVF or surrogacy. The world has 8 billion people consuming tremendous resources. We need less consumption, not more if the planet's growth and future is to be sustainable. Japan is not western, is not pro LGBT, and is also facing population declines. What the few percent of actual gay and lesbian people do or don't do with respect to reproduction makes no difference to the broad fertility rates. You need to look into this topic a lot more. The number of misconceptions you have that are not backed up by data is fairly astonishing.

  38. The only freakish thing here is your transphobia.

  39. If you would trade the small competitive advantage and difficulty in evaluating competitive fairness in some select sports due to a statistically larger skeleton (trans women on HRT for a year are no stronger than cis women) for ALL the key civil rights that improve millions of trans people’s lives every day like being able to marry their spouses and change their ID and not be fired from their jobs immediately upon transitioning then you have no sense at all of proportional justice. Trans people needs to suffer for generations twisting in the wind legally so straight people can feel more comfortable? Give me a break. Justice delayed is justice denied, said Dr. King. Put a goddamn asterisk next to trans women’s names in pro sports if you must but subjecting a class is people to second class citizenship over it is patently absurd.

  40. @Ghetto No one has ever been under the illusion that vaginoplasty or phalloplasty changes chromosomes. The point is that gender identity and chromosomal sex aren't the same thing. The point of transitioning is to alleviate gender dysphoria which is why it's viewed at standard treatment by all professional medical organizations.
    10
  41. Hide from what?
    10
  42. People don't stop to think about this. I like to tell people in the west to imagine dressing up in drag and going on some job interview today, 10 years ago and 20 years ago and then stop and think about why people didn't transition.
    10
  43. Like a fish needs a bicycle.
    10
  44. Right. Just sit around and wait for 40 years for same sex to be legalized before ever having sex and you die of old age in the meantime.

  45. @Anvith Shetty Asia is a big place. Depends on where and to what parents this non-straight child is born. My wife is trans and her parents have always been pretty good to her. Zero problems with our marriage today.

  46.  @wearewatchingyouhumans6956  Basically awesome.

  47.  @Insert-Retarded-Reply-Here  Russian food is terrible, it always leaves you hungry for power.

  48. The world is changing. Trans people are being accepted more and more. You just have to hang on. My wife is trans. We're legally married and our surviving parents all embrace us. Know hope, girl. Hang in there.

  49. @다이아나다이아나 Laws are a function of political will which is an extension of belief at scale. Eventually the SOGI bill, or one like it will pass just as it has in dozens of other countries all around the world.

  50. Again, gender for me is in the mind and not the body. You’re welcome to disagree.
