webfact Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Sanook reported on an incident in the north east of Thailand on Saturday night in which an apparent transgender man armed with a machete smashed up a bank. He was repeatedly screaming that he needed to get into his house but was unable to. Khaowong, Kalasin, police Captain Preecha Srisawang was alerted to the trouble at the local Bangkok Bank branch. He told his chief Pol Col Kantaphat Phaktham there was trouble in town and he hotfooted it to the bank to investigate. Fortunately there was no one about. He found the front window of the bank smashed down and damage to an ATM and a deposit machine. The police talked to the suspect - seemingly a ladyboy - for 40 minutes before mounting a charge. He was incoherent but kept repeating that he needed to get into his home. He was given a sedative in the hope that by morning they could get something sensible out of him. Convenience store staffer Nanthana, 23, said she had been putting olut some cardboard boxes when the man arrived clutching a machete. She told her manager and they quickly bolted the door after an offer of help was spurned. Then the suspect started walking all about causing the damage. Bank manager Somkhuan Natthayai, 55, said that 200,000 to 300,000 baht damage had been caused. Chief Kantaphat said that all the suspect had said apart from wanting to get into his house was that he had walked 20 kilometers from his home in Kuchinarai district. The man appeared to have mental health issues and had not yet been charged. He had had a urine test for drugs and would probably be charged with causing criminal damage. Investigations continue.

Popular Post Paulaew Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 The fact that the suspect was a ladyperson seems irrelevant to the story. The damage caused is the same, as is the obscurity of the connection with the person's home entry problem. Paul Laew 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The damage caused is the same, as is the obscurity of the connection with the person's home entry problem. Paul Laew "An individual armed with a machete......." perhaps? I think the expectation of any readership requires a bit more than that, at some point in the "story". I would prefer to be described as a man if I decide to attack a bank. My GF would prefer to be described as a woman if she launches a similar operation. In the West I think a transgender person would be described as a man or woman according the what they had "arrived at" physiologically. I don't think a man dressed as a woman would result in them being described as a "transvestite", but it would probably get a mention a some stage in the report. Where was the person in this report........"at"? A "person of the third sex"........isn't that a common "self identification", East of the Bosphorus, for those who have had no physiological re-arrangement? Would a Thai person prefer "Ladyboy"?...........I don't know. It's probably only an "issue" for expats........wherever they're "at". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the editor needs to include the suspect's gender in the story, it would presumably be available from the police who checked the suspect's ID card (you can't always tell by looking, as some of us have discovered the hard way).

BostonRob2 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 For those posters burbling on about the appropriateness of mentioning the suspects 'gender' I would remind you that this is a translation from Thai, and a faithful one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Laew Let us not get too woke, if the miscreant had been a man or a woman they would have written that, since the person was neither that was also written.
