Interesting legal question. If it is argued that there are only two sexes: male or female, and a male who has transitioned to a female is still considered a male, which public decency standards for baring one's breasts would apply to a man who has transitioned to a woman? The standard for a man or for a woman?

I guess the idea was, "I bought these things, and I want everyone to know they were worth it!"

You nail it.

Even working girls rarely expose their boobs in public in such a manner.

One of the many signs to spot a kathoey is silicon boobs barely  covered with "strings".

This - and not the Songkran road carnage - is a scandal?

Because if you argue that a transexual woman exposing her breasts is an act of public indecency at the same time you classify her by her birth sex as male, then what you're saying is that exposing a male chest which has been surgically modified to resemble female breasts is an act of public indecency. Which raises the question of whether men who suffer from gynecomastia or large breasts are committing an act of public indecency when they take off their shirt. And how about a woman who has her breasts surgically removed as part of her transition to a man. Should that person who the law still classifies by her birth sex as female, be allowed to remove her shirt in public? As these two examples highlight, I don't think trying to pigeon hole everyone into either one or the other sex is going to be as simple as anti-LGBTQ+ legislators imagine it will be.

I’ve seen men with bigger boobs what’s the difference ! You can wear a see thru top and no one says anything when it comes to modern day culture Thailand is way behind

You obviously haven't been to the same bars as I have been to many wear see through tops with maybe a little love heart covering the nipple I much prefer when there bent over the pool table with just a g string on now that gets my temperature up !

Let's say: in the bar is still different to the public on the street.

Love hearts 😁  nipple pads are common.

Men watching a man dancing shirtless. Not an issue.

Critics argue that this behaviour during a cultural festival detracts from Thailand's rich heritage. Many voiced their discontent, emphasising that respect for traditional values should be maintained even in celebration. This incident has reignited discussions about balancing modern expressions and cultural preservation within Thailand's festive scenes, reported The Thaiger.

 

Contrary what critics say, incidents like this enhance and strengthen people's understanding of core Thai cultural trait of Double Standards that crosses through all walks of life in the country.

Yeah what's the problem?

 

They did it at Biden's white house LBGTF day garden party.
