Pattaya transwoman arrested for stealing 300,000 baht gold necklace from Swiss man

What is the point of reporting upon the gender status of the criminal?

 

I feel politically correct, asking that. But there is no push to identify a criminal as gay, for example, unless its relevant to the said incident.

 

When you look at it like that...

  • Someone who walks around Pattaya with near 5oz of gold strung around their neck at 1.30am needs their head examining. 

  • These necklace's are getting bigger ,just waiting for a 1 Kg one , maybe Mr.T.     regards Worgeordie

  • A lot of the loss of these crimes could be solved if the pawn shop was made legally and financially responsible for clearing stolen items. It would be up to the shop to decide what measures they would

Where Pattaya is concerned, identifying whether the thief was a katoey or not has relevance.

From what I can gather, it isn't mere 'transphobia' to point out their activities of this nature. Its still irrelevant to the crime, and rightly or wrongly, people associate trans with gay in their minds. Bit they never print a piece, identifying a perpetrator as gay, unless its relevant to the incident, and most journos would not directly point put a perp is black. So it's still a stupid double standard.

 

By the way, where did the nice transsexuals go? Because they used to insist on being strongly gender normative, albeit switched sex, they always admitted they had a problem, though they denied it is psychiatric, and they used to complain only about surgical access, then the fact they weren't back then able to get married.

 

in media terms its almost an extinct trope, though it was the cultural image at least in the UK, down until after 2000. It was what you saw if you watched talk shows, before that genre devolved into Jeremy Kyle mentality. The trope was present also in other countries, such asJapan, for instance the 90s-00s manga and anime, You're Under Arrest, featured a character of this type, whose misfortune was played for 'transphobic' laughs, yet she was always portrayed as feminine, sympathetic, and of good character.

 

And you have to wonder how realist the trope ever was. Because it disappeared pretty fast. And its a lot, lot harder to have sympathy for them, nowadays. Or is it the dreadful transgender ideology - they were transsexuals before - came from the US, and reflects the toxic identity politics, that are globalized through American media?

 

maybe if gold shops start to ask for a gold buying/selling certificate from the person that shows up ... unless they know it is stolen give less money as they are profiting from the theft

Maybe the airlines could issue a pamphlet saying don't wear gold chains in LOS, it's stupid, but the idiots keep doing it  . 

 

Ladyboys love them anyhow.

Quite a few other things could be added, like do not trust road crossings, do not rent a motorcycle and don't believe her lies!
