No, it's not true. As mentioned in the article in the subsequent post you made about this, the school involved made it clear that:

 

 

It's not totally evident, but based on the TikTok clip, it sounds as though the idea of a pupil identifying as a cat was brought up as more of a hypothetical by the pupils (and is actually a straw man argument, since no pupil was doing so).

Nope, there are several other reports - some have clearly been made up or taken out of context, others are attested to by teachers.  There's a boy at a relative's school who swear's he's decended from an Owl and when he feels like it, tells teachers they must allow him to identify as he wishes.

At other times he acts quite normally but he has quoted the recent media reports of people like Sam Smith refusing to be categorised by gender and saying he refuses to be categorised as a human and may change to whatever animal he wishes, whenever he wishes.

This all started on a gender recognition basis, now kids with animal fantasies are demanding their wishes are respected!

I can probably answer my own question by saying, the world has gone mad but only if you accept what these crazies want.  I for one will never do that  - I'm unlikely to ever come into contact with a non-binary person but to me, their gender will always be either male or female.  They may be a gay male or a trans female but for me, their original identity, operated on or not IS their identity.

What we are being asked to accept, and this is very evident from several news stories in the UK recently is that a boy who has changed his identity and name, is now in fact a girl and has the right to be identified as such - not in my world. That person will always be a male to female trans but I do not say that with any disrespect. They are a human being and as such should be afforded the same rights and benefits as the rest of us. But I do not believe that should include accepting that a male is now a female.

In fact, taking the example of a male to female trans - there is no operation available that will change all of their body parts and enable them to fully function as a woman.  I just don't understand why they can't be happy as they are - look like a girl, live like a girl but never actually a girl. A lot of Ladyboys in Thailand seem to accept this much easier that their Western counterparts - many will proudly say that they are not a girl, they are a Ladyboy or second girl as they call it.

A personal example and this is the god's honest truth - my English ex wife's sister was a bit of a weirdo, suffered from eating disorders and was sometimes a little unstable - hardly surprising though due to the serious sexual abuse she'd suffered as a child.  She seemed to stabilise when she got into her late twenties and even got herself a job and a boyfriend. Mind you, there was something a bit odd about him too.  Christmas comes around and my ex invites her family, including this sister and partner over. 

Sister turns up with her new 'girlfriend', I'm thinking "OK so she's bisexual and must have dumped the boyfriend" - no problem with that but there was something familiar about this 'girlfriend'. Long story short, her boyfriend was now her girlfriend and I was expected to address him as such - sorry, he's a guy dressed up as a woman. I can't remember the names now but for example, there was no way I was going to call Colin, Susan - just because he'd put on a wig and make up.

I never asked but I wondered - if it was accepted that this guy was a girl, would that now make the sister a lesbian? How on earth someone can remain in a sexual relationship with someone who's 'changed sex' part way through their relationship - just doesn't compute for me.

What seems to be being forgotten in all this rubbish is that, for want of a better phrase, 'normal people' have rights too.  I consider my rights are to stick with the norm and yes, there is a norm, although as usual, our gay members etc. will slate me for saying that - must be my 'Hate Speech' again.

I doubt there's many married male members here who would tolerate their wife coming home one evening dressed as a male and demanding to be treated as such. Mind you..................................................

I can't find that article. Do you have a link to it?

 

It does seem a little unlikely though, given that (as mentioned above) the school had stated quite clearly that no children were identifying as any kind of animal.

You've obv missed the post but they have already agreed to a refund.

If they had money why arent they staying in nice hotels every week? Why would you go live in some average condo in Pattaya? People with money stay on Ko Kood and pay 20,000 a night.

Tosh, I've stayed there for 1500, my next booking is 2000. Koh Kood was once almost exclusive to the rich but times have changed.

It's a lavatory, not a toilet.

Which language do you speak?  Airlines use the International Language - British English.  How many aircraft have you seen where the signs state 'Lavatory'.  I think you will find they say 'Toilet'.

It is likely the Brits do not fool around with idiots like this guy, and will lock him up. Good result.

Correct, its taken very seriosly and will almost certainly result in jail time.

Why can't those pub slags wear a sweater on a cold day? This seems to be the most incomprehensible of disses.

The Wooly Jumper quote goes back to the days when a lot of women peace protestors were camped outside US bases in the UK.  They all seemed to wear huge wooly jumpers (probably because they were camping), a lot were lesbians and they were all extremely left wing.  Following that their 'type' seemed to take part in all sorts of left wing protests and were always on the news.

So you are a monger. Might as well just say it. Using apps to meet hookers or part timers. 

Do you have a problem reading or have you lost your glasses?  I've already said I'm not looking to pay - I've also said that I used to pay. I have never paid a single one of the girls I've met on an App.

This is why you make so many wrong statements, you simply don't read.

Monger? Yes - ex to be precise but its been a while. Much like the vast majority of Western males who visit Thailand. I have no problem stating that at all.  I'm honest about it - I don't claim to be visiting temples or immersing myself in a different culture. Nothing to hide here.

What will you say? Hi I'm Mango I'm old but nice. I want a real woman. Please no hookers. I'm like Romeo. I take care of you. Love you short time.

 

You seem to have a thing about age. Anyway, good night.

Thousands? Doubt that. Sounds like bs.

I don't know where you're from but a British English speaker will often say 'literally thousands' or similar to mean an awful lot. Yes that makes it a contracdiction but still, we do speak that way.

One thing I am sure of is that its hundreds but I never actually kept count.  In my first few years in Thailand when I was happy to pay for it, I can honestly say that if I was on a visit - it was every night and I used to stay for a month at a time. When I lived in Thailand (6 months in Bangkok 2002) - even more.

Not bragging, I know plenty of guys who do or have done the same - just remember, LT was 1000 baht 20 years back and that was £15.

When they go on a ski-ing holiday, people usually like to get as much ski-ing in as possible if you get my drift?

Nope, new SIM card and e-mail address has it sorted already.

Looks like you are stuffed then. The only app that worked well blocked you for trans comments. Whinging non stop since.

 

 

Not whinging, trying to deal with someone who's clearly been drinking and doesn't quite get what the thread is about.

Apps be full of hookers or part time hookers. No doubt about it. No barfine. They get more money.

 

21 years and you still cant find a serious girlfriend? You should be able to speak Thai and know how to talk to women.

 

Something isn't right.

 

 

21 years, literally thousands of girls and a couple of failed marriages.

'Something isn't right' - 'Still can't find' - Everything IS right and I DON'T want a serious girlfriend. I do speak enough Thai to get by and I'm improving all the time - like many, I was lazy and left it to my wife to do everything that required language skills.

I thought I'd made it clear that I wasn't looking for anything serious - most people would know that from the App I was refering to.  I haven't named it but I'm sure most people here will have realised which one it is and what its used for. Let's put it this way, its not known as a place to find a wife - does 'hook up' mean anything to you?

Anyway, wite about what you want but if its not 'on topic' I won't be replying.

Try finding a long term partner. Then you won't care about wokeism.

Why? Been there, done that and don't want any more of that thanks very much.  I enjoy my life now but to put it bluntly, I just want a jump with someone who actually wants the same, not because they are being paid - much more enjoyable.

No idea why you need an app. I can hit on just walking.

OK, one last time.

I am not in Thailand full time and I'm not interested in English women.  I use these sites to find potential dates when I'm out of the country and gradually thin them out - down to the ones I'm actually going to meet.

You will no doubt deny it but I'd bet a high proportion of ones you 'hit on walking' are either full or part time hookers.  If I wanted a hooker, I wouldn't bother with dating apps. You might find it hard to believe but there are a growing number of girls, especially the younger ones in Thailand that are not hookers and don't want a serious relationship - just a 'good time' - as do I. Those girls use dating apps to find what they're looking for.

I'm not exactly new to this you know, I've been travelling to Thailand for 21 years.

Anyway, end of dating app chat.

2 minutes ago, uttradit said:

Try talking in person. That's the normal way. I would never bother with apps.

Maybe because you were not looking for the same thing I am.  Dating Apps are very useful - I've met quite a lot of women on them.  You are able to get a lot of stuff out of the way before you actually meet anyone which can be very useful in Thailand where a good proportion of girls using those sites are on the game.

Anyway, we are back talking about dating apps again - I'm not prepared to do that further unless its relates to the actual topic.  As I've said several times, the dating app was simply an example.

Post some photos of these real attractive women on these websites then

What's your point and what are you refering to?  I haven't mentioned 'real attractive women'.  There are both attractive and not so attractive on all the sites I've seen and apart from it being against the rules to post such photos, I don't see what value it would have to this discussion.

That's just a few people. You never met Sam Smith so doesn't matter. You met Noi from a dating app. Noi isnt her real name.

Are you drinking again?  The reference to Sam Smith was by way of an example - an example of the ridiculous demands these people are making.

I don't see anything offensive about 'No Trans'  - there is no guarantee that even that would be acceptable.

Wolf whistling makes many girls uncomfortable, so why allow it?

B.S.  Ugly birds and big wooly jumper wearers say that because they never get whistled at.  Its been a while since I saw it but I seem to remember girls having a smug little smile after receiving a wolf whistle.

And as for 'the kiss' - tosh.  It wasn't only her smile - she said it wasn't a problem immediately afterwards.  Then Spain's  'ultra feminists' and the lesbains on her team got involved and it went well over the top. Sexual assault?  What planet are you from? 

Again, the vast majority of the people I spoke to at the time couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. Just a few years ago, if that happened and it upset the recipient, he'd get a quick cuff round the chops and the matter would be closed.  Is it any wonder the world's courts are clogged up when an unwanted kiss becomes sexual assault.

The umbrella girls were banned from F1 too because it was too sexist - I bet the girls themselves never complained though - except about losing their jobs. Madness!
