Why is it so difficult to understand for some people that chromosome xy is not chromosome xx? Obviously some people can pretend to be the opposite of what they are. But that doesn't mean that is reality. As far as I am concerned you can identify as anything you want. But please don't try to tell children that your world view is correct. It's your view. You can think the world is flat or it is a globe. But please don't tell children the world is flat. What are you talking about? I was referring to the gains in gay rights and you start talking about gender issues, something I generally avoid as I'm not fully up to speed on all the issues. For your information all I identify as is a gay man and I have never spoken to any child about LGBT issues so why bring that up? And I don't think equality is stupid but you're welcome to believe that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummin Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 The problem in Thailand, everyone is bullied and discriminated for being dam dam, fat, women who work in surtain areas being to old (35), single mothers, or stands out in some way, and they get nick names to remind them every day. If you are pretty no matter ladyboy, gay or whatever sexual preferences, and meet the standards set by opinion you can cruise through life. As long you fake it to you make it, anything is possible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main thing is acceptance and the realization on both sides that it exists and is part of society. There are still hurdles but over all the stigmas and crap that happens or happened in the Western world have passed Thailand by. Kaitoey's are accepted and working in many areas of main stream Thailand. The Kaitoey life still and clubs/bars are more prevalent. However, as we all know there are many things about the way Thailand as a country has operated that need to be addressed properly in a democratic means. Equality for 3rd gender people for a legal form of marriage or legal status as a couple is just one of the things along with Better education end of corruption legalization of prostitution The Mary Jane question minimum wage and a host of other things that have to be looked at in order of priority. But the worst thing that could happen is for Thai 3rd gender to start acting like those in the west. Before heiling too much for Thailand and their acceptance of unatural people, you should take note that... Sure Thai is good in accepting different stuff within this... BUT only as long as it does NOT hit their own family, THEN IT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MESS..... Acceptance and tolerance has it´s borders....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neeranam Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 30 minutes ago, Jingthing said: Are you seriously concerned that everyone will be gay? Does being gay sound that attractive? I think many straight men, including me, have had a fear about being gay or bisexual, especially when young, due to what society taught us. You'll know more than me but I think every males is bisexual to some degree. I recently met an old friend, after 30 years. He came out 29 years ago, aged 28 and it was interesting hearing his story. Also sad, he went through a lot, not wanting to come out as he was ashamed and scared of what his friends would say. He was a guy who was incredibly good looking and got all the girls. Lovely to rekindle that friendship. I think differently about LGBQT to gay. I don't think they should be lumped together. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baht Simpson Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 1 hour ago, JonnyF said: Thanks for the sensible response. It's a welcome change from the lazy insults from other less thoughtful posters. So it would appear that LGBT paradise is difficult to define. Which was clearly the point I was making. Others would disagree with you and want more or less rights on each point. An interesting debate on what the end goal of the LGBT "community" actually wants (if such a community really exists, but that's another debate). Douglas Murray for example is a gay man who would probably not want the rights I suggested others might and certainly wouldn't call it paradise. Now, there's one gay man I could really get behind (if you'll excuse the pun). I wouldn't place too much store what Douglas Murray says. He has some pretty strange views on heterosexual men as well as LGBT. And he often sounds confused to me. Probably because he just wants to take digs at the left. The gay community is not a club, it doesn't require membership and has no leader. It's an umbrella term to describe certain groups of people, however many or few. Within that framework there are various support groups, activist groups and clubs etc. with varying views and diverse interests. Murray isn't stupid, he knows this but is happy to play the Conservative card for cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't think of a better place for the alphabet crowd to live, other than TH. 'Coming Out' ... waving one's freak flag is so accepted here, it's not even noticed. Pride Month, IMHO, is a bit silly here, and surely just a money maker for the special interest groups. Bring awareness to who, as people stopped living in caves here 1000s of years ago. I think he meant "LGBTQ+ paradise!". As in, it's fine to be accepting and tolerant, but not the super-woke nightmare where your speech is controlled and people with penises can go into any woman's space they want. And if you question anything you lose your job. Thailand is pretty close to as good as it is possible to get for LGBT. It doesn't need to move towards Western ridiculousness where the claim of "oppression" allows you to get special treatment. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
