BANGKOK — Outrage spread Monday at one of the nation’s top universities over a veteran professor’s conduct and comments toward transgender women.

 

Students have demanded that the university look into repeated homophobic comments about transgender women, known as khatoey, made by an assistant professor in the education department they allege also barred a student from his class.

Being Thai, one would think it is just a normal everyday occurrence to interact with such people.   We had khatoey neighbors in Bangkok.  They never made a fuss.

"A former student body president and activist posted an online petition calling for Niran to be probed..."

 

Many would see it as appropriate retribution after he branded them sexual deviants and lunatics.

I am loosing patience with these dinosaurs!

If he would get fired over his statements, I would applaud this decision!

The problem is the dinosaurs of the teaching profession hold the reins of power.

It's got nothing to do with ability, the longer you have served the better you are !!!

The younger generation in the teaching profession have to cow-down to elders like some king of subordinate, almost like a right of passage, I have many young teacher friends who wish they had never entered the profession. Life of a transgender teacher must be daily hell !!

there is still a prevalent culture of seniority and hierarchy in the Faculty of Education.

 

Would somebody kindly explain to these privileged youngsters that seniority and heirachy are natural bi-products of a free-market capitalist society.

 

And while they are about it, that equality of opportunity is no guarantee, in a healthily competitive society, of equality of outcome.

 

Higher education in the West  has become the preserve of the "progressive" left, busy filling children's heads with neo-Marxist nonsense.  With my daughter in her first year at uni, please don't tell me the same thing is happening here.

Surely this is called transphobia, not homophobia.

Perhaps the individual concerned is a trans woman who happens to be a lesbian?
