Popular Post KhunLA Posted June 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2023 38 minutes ago, Fat is a type of crazy said: As far as I know it's not really a thing. Someone probably thought it up for a bit of fun. A bit like pantomime. In other words I don't think there is some international network of drag story tellers. It probably happened a few times and the media got onto it. Is there an example of it happening and a child was lead astray after story time, following a path of boiled lollies or something, into the lair of a drag queen. Not that I have heard of. Don't believe the hype. Its a big nothing. Not TH, but apparently it's a thing in USA, at libraries ... or so I read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_Queen_Story_Hour Only thing I have against kids attending such things, they are very impressionable, and may like the attention the 'performers, speakers' get, and think it would be fun ... until it isn't. Could mess with someone's head in years to follow. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old homos are pedos canard directly comparable to antisemitic blood libel. The fascists have really gone big time on this hysteria -- suggesting Pride flags are grooming and 1000 other things they call grooming that are not grooming. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teachers are also not allowed to inform parents of their child's preferred gender creating distance and trust issues between parent and child. Parents who don't affirm their child's gender with medical treatment can be arrested and lose their child.. Nobody is allowed to speak out against this. That freedom of speech has been taken away. It's even illegal on some places. Lies lies lies. Turn off the magadonian hate media! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But would still be legally binding in a civil court, depending what is actually in your 'documents'. In TH, except for private hospital offered from employment, everyone is already, if wanting, on the universal healthcare plan, so not like one needs you partner's health bennies. Along with Soc Sec, the pittance that is given in TH, wouldn't be missed if you didn't even get your own. Are there really that many rights that come with marriage, especially in TH. Any other rights, employment, education, whether on the books or not, are easily ignored, unless you filed a suit for discrimination, and that's worldwide.

tgw Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, Jingthing said: The Thai LGBTQ civil rights movement is now working hard to bring about equality. not a laudable goal. equality in civil rights, yes. equality in opportunities for education, employment, etc. yes. equality for equality's sake, no. LGBTQ need a fair position in society with equality of rights and opportunities, all while recognizing differences. pretending members of one biological gender are a full equivalent of a member of another gender is detrimental.

FruitPudding Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Jingthing said: It varies country by country. The stated goals of Thai LGBT activists were seen in pride parade here. Marriage equality Right to change gender on IDs Thai ID cards do not state the gender; they state the sex of the person. You can be any gender you feel like, but your sex will always be your sex: male or female. 1 hour ago, Jingthing said: Legalization of prostitution Prostitution and the LGBTQ community? Why is this even a thing? What percentage of the LGBTQ community are prostitutes? Sex work is the outcome of lack of education and lack of basic social security. You've got a huge number of people in Thailand that are not educated enough to earn more than minimum wage and they have to take care of their elderly parents and children, so they turn to prostitution as their only way to make good money. It should not be considered "work" or legalized. It's exploitation. Thai people need better education and social security, so people are not in a position where they end up exploited. 1 hour ago, Jingthing said: Better access to LGBT relevant health care You mean, like, affirmation medicine and surgery?

Popular Post JonnyF Posted June 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2023 What is LGBT "paradise" anyway? Somewhere where children under 16 can have body parts removed because they think they might like to be the opposite gender? Somewhere where people are arrested/pilloried for using the pronoun for someone's biological sex because the individual they are referring to wishes to be another gender? Somewhere where men can wear a dress and then use the women's toilets/changing rooms? Or go to women's prisons? Somewhere where we have pride days every week/month so the LBGT community can flaunt their sexuality by dancing erotically while half naked in the streets? Because if that's "paradise", maybe Thailand is better off as it is? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean, like, affirmation medicine and surgery? Don't play games. Sex/gender is the same thing on ID cards. Just how disingenuous are you willing to go? You're wasting people's time with such idiocy. You know exactly what this is about. It's about transgender people being allowed to change their government IDs. Yes of course they should. Sex work legalization of course is about everyone and most sex workers are cisgender straight women. But perhaps sadly depending on your POV, yes a lot of transgender Thais are sex workers along with the usual rent boys. I doubt rent a lesbian is a big thing, but why not? Why legalize? You'd have to ask the Thais but I reckon a lot has to do with getting more respect as workers and getting into the social security system, etc. I am not currently working as a prostitute in Thailand so I'm no expert on this. Medical care covers a lot of things. LGBT people have medical needs that other groups don't. I am not an expert on if they are often treated with disrespect as they often are in the west, but if I had to guess, I would guess that's an issue here too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
