Topless Thai Transwoman Busted for Beach Stunt in Sri Lanka

[Video News]

 

A 26-year-old Thai transwoman tourist was arrested in Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka, after walking topless along the beach, triggering backlash from locals and social media. Despite identifying as female, her Thai passport lists her as male, and Sri Lankan law prohibits toplessness for women. She pleaded guilty to indecent exposure and causing distress, receiving a six-week suspended jail sentence. She’ll avoid prison unless she reoffends within five years. The incident stirred debate in the conservative beach town, highlighting tensions over gender identity and public decency laws.

Few expats on here might need to worry about flaunting their boobs if it is causes such offence.

But does the law prohibit based on the passport or what a person "identifies" as? 

Because technically, it's a male and is allowed to go topless?

So the dude obviously has implants, so seems appropriate to get arrested.

 

Can't fix stupid

It's illegal for women only. Not based on breast size. Legal for men to be topless.

Where is the support from those who always scream, "But it's a dude, man"?
