School Turns Away Third-Sex Trainees: Bangkok

[NanLaew]

...or something lost in translation. If the edict is inspired by the ignorance called homophobia, then they are idiots because katoeys, third-sex... whatever you want to call them aren't homosexual. However, based on global estimates, one in thirty males is homosexual but they are darn hard to spot at school assembly in the morning unless they forget to take off the stilletos.

Somewhat difficult to level a charge of sex discrimination when, no matter how you toss it, there are only two sides to any coin.

Don't forget the edge!

To be fair to the Ladyboys, they are entitled to professional careers, I would imagine that many would be excellent teachers.

It's far better to give the third sex the chance to be positive role models in Thai society, and an act of cruelty to deny them a chance to live normal fulfilling lives.

I thought there was only two sexes, male and female. When did God create the 3rd sex? I must have missed the launch. I have heard of males, females and amaphradites but what go you call this 3rd sex thing. Why don't these ladyboys just register as male the way they were born and dress like men and get thier qualifications. Stop pretending to be women for awhile until after school and after graduation. Then they can put on thier frilly dresses and lipstick and apply for a job.

I don't get it! Ladyboys dress like women, behave more or less like women, walk like women, wear make-up like women and most importantly WANT TO BE A WOMAN, but then complain when they won't get admission to an ALL MALE school? <deleted>?!

.... and if they commit a crime, they go to male prisons, most likely standing the whole time with their <deleted> against the wall.

I have absolutely no problems with people's sexuality and it's absolute stupid that some good people loose their jobs or careers because of their inclination. It's no one's business what people do in private if they don't harm anyone. Never mind if homosexual, lesbians, trans sexual, transvestites or whatever.

I have no problem if the Pope is gay, Clinton getting a blowjob or MP's looking at porn but that are things that should stay in private and not in public.

If a hippie wants to work in a bank, he will need to dress and behave accordingly. A transvestite Pilot will most likely not get a job if he turns up in high heels for his job interview. So if a katoi wants a male job, dress and behave accordingly and I'm pretty sure, he stands a chance to get the job. Otherwise, he should apply for a job at CP-Air or a bar in Pattaya if he/she/it has to demonstrate their inclination in public.

Abide by the rules of the school, if you are a man then don't wear your frilly pink nickers, your stockings and highheels and prounce around like a fairy when it is not allowed. Abide by the dress codes and the code of conduct, in this case act like a man, study hard and you should have no problems. You can pull out the bra and knickers when you have finished your degree. You are the one who wants to attend the institution, it is not the institution begging you to come.

It may be a short people problem. The guy on the right is not really short but the ladies are really tall. You know how guys don't like to feel short?

[JoeLing]

Margaret Ann Bulkley/James Barry supposedly lived her life long as a man in order to pursue her career. Jerry Bailey's sex change didn;t stop him/her from her political ambitions. I'm sure, if this "Third Sex" person really, really wanted to study, there would have been easier ways to achieve that then going to the media and make a big fuss.

Oops, naughty Thailand, not asking Chooka if it was okay to use the term 3rd sex.

Bad, Thailand, bad!!

I think the headline should read 'school turns away third sex trannies'.

What is a 3rd sex? I know what a male is and a female but what exactly is a 3rd sex and which sex is 1st and who is 2nd. A man dressing up in womens underwear doesn't create another sex it is still a man wearing frilly knickers and highheels.. Is awoman who dresses as a man the 4th sex and those involved in beatiality and the like the 5th sex?

The 3rd sex goes back to the 1700's and was a term that the mollies (better known as homosexuals today) refered to themselves as. It is not a distinct sex in itself but was a term used to describe the homosexual community. Today you have the gay community back then it was the 3rd sex community, still the same animal just a different name.

Do you think there would be enought support for a float by the 3rd sex people who were turned away from that school by Thai Visa Members to participate in that Aussie parade?

That parade could be a bully pulpit for the plight of third sex trainees from Bangkok.

I would suggest Amrica but the air fare is a lot more and Australia is so much closer and that parade bigger than anything in the States.

After all Thailand has a lot to learn from other more advanced countries like Australia about being, well you know... more PC and stuff.

Nothing personal but you are talking like this is the only school in the Kingdom that trains teachers.

I might be wrong but I doubt it.

That is the mob from Sydney, we from Melbourne and other cities do not associate with New South Welshmen and that little float festival thingy is the only thing Sydney has on each year. All the major international events are held in Melbourne.

True they can still get thier teaching degrees but not at this school unless they abide by a dress code and a code of conduct. It is very simple if you do not like the rules of this school go to another and don't expect an entire institution to change for a monority group. Abide by the rules and attend this school if you wish.

I've given you the wrong impression, I'm not fussed if they get access to this college or not.

I do think it's cruel to deny Ladyboys access to good fulfilling professional careers due to their sexuality.

What is third Sex again,do they have both Pussy and Penis???

[otherstuff1957]

A friend of mine teaches at an all boys school and he has told me that the 3rd sex is already well represented among the students!

[ratcatcher]

What is third Sex again,do they have both Pussy and Penis???

No, I think proper terminology would be

"Are you a pole or a hole"?

And for our Aussie pals, here's their Third Sex.

Is the Thai Visa gay community taking ownership of what Thailand refers to as the 3rd sex?

It's a complex issue with different meanings across cultures, and also over the course of history. In the modern context, generally modern gay people would not relate to being identified as third sex, and rather would consider that related to transgendered individuals. In many countries, homosexuals and transgendered people have allied themselves politically as the fight against discrimination against sexual minorities applies to both groups.

http://en.wikipedia....ki/Third_gender

Interestingly in Thailand, it seems to me, the majority of political activism for sexual minority civil rights seems to come mostly from "ladyboys" and much less so from homosexuals with no gender identity issues. I think that is very unusual in the world today.

Not yes or no. I was talking about the larger issue and not interested in the petty inter-forum issue you seem focused on, that interests me not a bit.

I'm amused to see a google ad "Dating With Ladyboys" flashing across this topic.
