Put this down to a freak of nature.

RIP the man from Roi-Et. The sea is dangerous.

 

What exactly does that mean? Was it first a guy or a girl?

They say in the womb we all start out as female.

Exactly why men have nipples. This was a point of curiosity for me until just this year. As well, that little triangular flap on your ear is called a "tragus." Yeah, school is out until May and I am just that bored.

RIP.  So many avoidable deaths while taking selfies. 

question the need for the word transgender in the headline more than anything.

Probably.

If it was a Non Binary would that have been mentioned in the headlines?

Those rogue waves can be dangerous

What is it about?

Transgender are more likely to die as others?😳

Why to discriminate some groups as Lady Boys or transgender? If so you would have to mention lesbians or gays too.

Who is writing this stuff?🤔

Unidentified as what ? 

Could have quite possibly been knocked unconscious by the rock before drowning, but no mention of an autopsy.

I recall in OZ this is what happens, wave comes, people slip on wet rocks, fall Backward and smack their head, then slide off into the sea.

We also resemble a fish at the very beginning and later a human fetus is indistinguishable from that of a chimpanzee.  What counts is what comes out at the end however vehemently it may be denied.

Sit down and think about that for a moment and one realizes what a dumb question that is.

I believe this is known as 'Natural Selection'.

I question the need to question the need for the word transgender in the headline more than anything.

Obviously works well as click-bait. as 3 of the stories headlined in "Latest News " concern Transgender or Ladyboy individuals !

"Transgender woman" is that the new headline term now for "We don't know if it was a man or lady" that was killed by a freak wave......?  🤔

 

RIP whatever you were.
