  1.  @Lu-yw7vv  29 other countries allow same sex marriage, and the Netherlands legalized it over 20 years ago. Sure, plenty of countries in the Middle East and Africa are vastly worse to he LGBT but Thailand and Vietnam still have a long way to go for legal equality and social parity. My wife is a Thai trans women and we’ve been waiting over a decade to get legally married in Thailand. Know hope.

  2. There are open gays and lesbians everywhere in Thailand and plenty of LGBTs even publicly elected to government positions.

  4. So you’re saying that trans women are the clouds and cis women are the bushes?

  6. Trans women are not embarrassing. Transphobia is embarrassing.

  7. Thailand was proud of it's transgenders long before Columbus sailed the Atlantic.

  8. You seriously think that there is pedophilia at Pride parades? How many Pride parades have you been to yourself?

  9.  @dianaufal1260  I’m not apologizing for calling religious people childish because they believe in supernatural things as they use they use that belief in childish supernatural things to demonize my community. You’re perfectly welcome to have a moral problem with that but I don’t.

  10.  @mau6068  My suggestion is to learn how to say about 40 or so Thai words. Mostly vowels but a few nouns and know how to make some simple sentences based on those. Then you'll want to learn the Thai script since it helps tremendously to learn everything accurately. There are a lot of Apple iOS apps in the app store that help you learn the script with quizzes and such. Pocket Thai Master and Thai Reading and Write Thai and Thailes were the iOS apps that were the most helpful. After that you're well on your way. Good luck.

  11. Why would that be good for mankind? Banning anything just moves it underground and causes all sorts of problems.

  12. Well, more Thai trans women are out of the closet then American trans women. Less aggregate discrimination over a longer period of time. There has been a cultural role for trans women in Thailand (and all across South Asia) for hundreds and hundreds of years.

  13. That’s more a commentary that you don’t accept trans women as women. Rest assured if Ladyboys in Thailand could change their legal gender like they can in the US, they would. Ladyboys call themselves a lot of things in Thai, among them, sao praphet song or women of the second type. Rest assured, It’s just a matter of time before Thailand allows trans people to change their legal gender as dozens of counties from Iran to Japan to Ecuador to South Africa. It is not just the US or the west. I certainly do accept trans women as women in any country and I’m hardly alone in respecting the gender identity of others.

  14.  @johnnielson4341  No, it is actually a direct translation of Thai. (ผู้หญิงประเภทสอง) Plenty of interviews with Ladyboys on YouTube saying exactly this. Watch some. Trans women are legally female in dozens of countries as has been established. Rest assured, in few more years trans women will be legally female in Thailand as they are in dozens of other countries all around the world.

  15. ​ @johnnielson4341  Invented? You are more clueless about LGBT law than I realized. No wonder you're confused. Being legally female is being able to change the sex/gender on your State ID / Driver's license, Passport and Birth Certificate. California form DMV form DL-329, State Department form DS-11, California Department of Vital Records form VS-24, respectively. Go look it up.

  16.  @johnnielson4341  You're making a distinction without a difference. This is the Thai language equivalent of saying a trans woman, which, incidentally some Thai ladyboys also do. Their gender identity is that they are women. I've known many Thai ladyboys, including my wife, that have changed their legal gender in other countries. To pretend that thousands upon thousands of ladyboys don't want to do that in Thailand is absurd. They're spending tens to hundreds of thousands of baht to have surgery to look like women, in some cases removing their p3nis and turning it into a vag, taking estrogens and androgen suppression hormone therapy to further feminize their body, use plenty of Thai female speech, use the women's restroom and to pretend that they wouldn't want to pay a hundred baht to update legal gender on their ID and Passport is just absurd. Listen to yourself.

  17.  @johnnielson4341  My wife's US passport says "Sex F" Her California Driver's License says "Sex F". These are LEGAL forms of ID. Only a matter of time that LAWS are passed in Thailand that HAVE been passed a dozens of other countries (like the US) to allow sex change on your legal ID. What is so difficult to understand about this? Yikes. You clearly understand very little about LGBT law.

  18.  @johnnielson4341  Do you deny that Tran women can be legally female in Korea. Japan. Taiwan. Vietnam. China. Not to mention dozens of counties in North America and South America? Female. Not a 3rd gender. On their legal ID. Do you deny this? Explain why the trans women of Thailand would not want this also? You do understand that Thai trans women have actually moved out of Thailand and changed their legal ID in other countries, right? Let’s take the famous Thai trans singer, Belle Nuntita. She got married. Moved to LA. Changed her legal gender to Female on her ID proudly on Facebook. How do you explain this? Someone had a gun to her head? You pay attention to yourself. You are saying there are no black swans when there is one swimming in the pond, right there.

  19.  @johnnielson4341  That’s your rejoinder? Stick to topics you actually have some experience with.

  20. ​ @johnnielson4341  Sigh. It was not a same sex marriage. She legally changed her sex before the wedding in 2012. She was legally female already. Read the USCIS memo and date on it, I referenced earlier. Second, you need to read up on the K-1 Visa. It is not given to spouses who are already in the US, as I already had mentioned that she was on a student visa in California. Thus it is an “Adjustment of Status” under USCIS rules as I already mentioned. Look it up. I’ll wait.
    4
  21.  @johnnielson4341  No K-1 visa. Again, she already had an F-1 visa as she was already in the US. Again, this an Adjustment of Status. The K-1 visa is to GET the spouse into the US legally. Not needed if they are already in the US. Go read up on this. My wife was legally female in California at the time of our wedding in 2012. She had her legal sex changed in court and at the DMV prior to 2012. All that was needed at the county clerk's office when were legally married was her California ID which said female. Right after that we did the USCIS Adjustment of Status and then began the whole process I already detailed earlier. We could have got legally married a lot earlier in California (or in a different state with same sex marriage like Massachusetts which was legal in 2004) but that would not have helped at all (for the purposes of immigration) because that USCIS memo came out in 2012. Is it so inconceivable to you that trans people change their gender and get married? It happens everyday.

  22.  @johnnielson4341  No, there is not a godlike AI fact checking posts. Long comments vanish all the time. I have no idea what keywords and patterns it is searching for. I have spent plenty of time in Thailand over the last 20 years with my wife. No doubt you have as well. The difference here is that you really don't know LGBT Thailand and LGBT life in general very well since that is not your life. Are 90%+ of your friends and acquaintances LGBT people?

  23. So What you’re saying is that you are unable to give us the names of these gay Thai Gods. How do we know they exist if you can’t name them?

  24. You do realize that trans women and gay men aren't the same thing, right?

  25.  @makimaninkopegi3845  Care to explain why not?

  26.  @fiermoncunningham5978  Most in fact do not. A sizable minority do but it isn’t the majority. Bring trans in Thailand (just like being trans in western countries) is your gender identity and it isn’t necessarily tied to the economics of sex work. It si simply the way they want to live their lives.

  27. The irony is that the religion they’re using to justify that hate with is a choice.

  28. Glad to hear your story. Not much is ever said about trans girls from the south. I hope that Thailand changes the law so your ID and passport says Female.

  29. A trans woman is not a sin. That’s her life and she’s not hurting anyone.

  30. Now you know how it feels for girls in crowded nightclubs I guess.

  31.  @kn7636  I agree, actually. There is a big temptation to want to cover SRS in great detail but that's really basically the same stuff for everyone, like having heart bypass surgery. There should have been more questions related to her and her life.

  32. There are plenty of ladyboys in upcountry rural villages too. I should know, I married one.

  33.  @WillJ99999  And then after emergency situation is are stabilized and the patient is revived and identified, the patient's medical records transfer happens. How do you think medical care is provided for in literally dozens of countries where transgender people have legally changed their gender for decades? You're acting like this is uncharted territory, here. It is not. Everyone has the option to wear a medical alert bracelet that informs EMS of critical medical conditions, including trans people.

  34. I trust medical doctors and professional medical organizations over random internet conspiracy loons like you. I can and will support my LGBT brothers and sisters. Feel free not to do so. We all make our own choices in this world and I’ve made mine.

  35. Thai people actually eat very little soy.

  36. Not enough women to go around? What are you talking about? There are more cis women than cis men in Thailand. The vast majority of Thai trans women are not sex workers.

  39. Donating blood is pretty unimportant in the grand scheme of things. You can just donate $20, too. Thailand actually has a very long way to go to LGBT equality. It’s hardly the LGBT paradise people assume it is. There is no marriage equality in Thailand so trans women can’t legally marry or change their legal gender.

  40. I agree. It’s nice to hear from our LGBT brothers and sisters. 🌈

  41. That’s what all the anal virgins say.

  42. Absolutely.

  43. Sadly so. I've been waiting many years to marry my Thai wife who is trans. The government is behind on a lot of topics. It's hardly even a democracy at this point.

  44. All those people in the video mysteriously drowned in swimming accidents in Victoria Harbour.

  45. You're thinking of the Philippines.

  46. This makes no sense. Thailand was on our side during the Vietnam conflict. There are more trans people in Thailand than Vietnam where we did spray all kinds of deforestation agents.

  47.  친구찬Chingu Chan  I'm absolutely sure about the US and Europe. Look up public accommodation law. Literally millions of trans women use the women's restroom everyday with any issue. It is simply not the case that there is an epidemic of men posing as trans women to assault women in women's restrooms. If you care about 'restroom security' then lobby to have restroom attendants in every restroom that can radio security in case there are any problems. Install panic buttons in restrooms to security can be alerted. Have more security guards in the building.
