Courts agrees to hear Thai celebrity’s “wig pulling” case

[webfact]

The Bangkok North District Court has accepted a lawsuit filed, by LGBTQ celebrity Prairie Praiwan, against controversial socialite Leena Jungjunja over an incident in April this year, when the latter pulled a wig from Prairie’s head in what appeared to be a prank.

 

The incident occurred during a livestreaming of the “Mod Dam” YouTube program. A former well-known monk, who became transgender after leaving the monkhood, Prairie, had been invited to appear on Mod Dam’s program for an interview, not knowing that Leena had also been invited. After the interview, the producer wanted to do a live segment featuring her with Leena.

 

Prairie said in her Facebook on Monday that the Bangkok North District Court had held a pre-trial hearing and decided to accept the case.

Seems the politically correct word changes more often than the wind.

Kathoey has always worked for me. (and IMHO the Wikipedia definition is absolutely wrong). Ladyboy, kathoey, transgender... same same. Pick you country to use.

It's a shame they having nothing better to do with their time other than frivolous lawsuits.
