Krataiboy Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Well done, Thailand, for not slavishly following the "progressive" West's idiotic insistence on calling their heroines (nangxek) heroes (phraxek) Long live male and female pronouns. Vive la difference! Edited February 16, 2020 by Krataiboy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
