scottiejohn replied to The Cobra's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
As I said earlier I would love to know how (not what was discussed - not interested) a two posters can have both a written and verbal discussion on AN with a third party in Thai and certify the competency of the other party without disclosing how it happened and what their competency to make that statement is? -

Why would two native English speakers communicate with each other on an English language only forum (outside Thai parts) in both written and spoken Thai? Moderator or not! -

Do you mean you have actually spoken and written to Bob in Thai and that you are qualified to asses his proficiency? -

NATO leaders say Ukraine WILL join NATO.
scottiejohn replied to thaibeachlovers's topic in The War in Ukraine
I think you will find that Ukraine was trying to join NATO as a barrier to stop Russia/Putin from invading them, not NATO wanting to expand in order to let them invade Russia. NATO is a defensive treaty/organisation and not a war mongering Putin Dictated state!! -

I thought you were taking the proverbial you know what! In Thailand a Physical surgical realignment or surgical procedure to change your sex does not at the present time lead to a change of your sex on your Thai ID Card! If your first ID card says MR Somchai and you go through the full surgical process (after full a psychiatrist assessment etc and ask for a new ID with your new female long hair etc it will still say "Mr Somchai"! That was the point I was trying to make. I have no axe to grind on this subject. (see below) My only complaint, as I first stated, was the abysmal reporting in the OP! My knowledge on this subject re ID cards comes from a transgender member on my Thai partner's side who has recently after many years of counselling etc undergone a full medical/surgical transition from male to female! We now refer to her as "her" but still under the same Thai nickname!

What a sad post! I suggest you either show your post as being your idea of humour or don't post it! (I assume it was meant as "humour(sic)"? I asked a legitimate question which may be of interest to some on this forum and unhelpful responses like yours may be taken by some vulnerable people as factual!

please re read the badly worded article: She describes her child alternatively as a daughter and a son and then is she living with and ex male or an ex female!? it is not at all clear! I am making no comment about intersex marriage but about the article's lack of clarity. I have also commented/asked about how Thailand will identify sex change persons on their ID Cards!
-
But it is not clear! "Now everything is clear: she is living with a man" who I assume is an ex female! Is she living with an ex female who is now a male or an ex female who is now a man? If it is a same sex marriage then as I understand it they must both have started off (in Thailand) as the same sex (ID Cards do not change when Thai's change sex), i.e. female or are they allowing swapping backward and forwards? That combined with the son being described as a daughter and her/him calling her partner dad gets me totally confused! PS; Does the new law allow for the issuance of new ID cards showing the new "assumed" sex" or must they go under surgical realignment to have their ID changed?
