handed in a medical certificate showing he has gender identity disorder

Great, now they get a certificate to re-enforce stereotyping, or was that just badly worded. whistling.gif

A psychological state is considered a mental disorder only if it causes significant distress or disability. Many transgender people do not experience their gender as distressing or disabling, which implies that identifying as transgender does not constitute a mental disorder.
This diagnosis is highly controversial among some mental health professionals and transgender communities. Some contend that the diagnosis inappropriately pathologizes gender noncongruence and should be eliminated.

Transgendered people become "transvestites" in the Nation.

Nowhere in the Nation article does it say that they are transgender.

No. But I don't think we are dealing here with a bunch of men who are cross-dressing. Have you read the article? I.e. "they have studied as girl students..." Being a girl (student) does not just mean wearing a specific type of attire. There is more than just a dress code to it. Look at the latest picture in this thread.

But at a large cost. The Thai Government earns hundreds of millions of baht from transvestite shows at Pattaya. So to hospitals such as Y a n h e e hospital that specializes is sex reorientation procedures. Just these two industries (I won't mention others) generate so much revenue for the government and all the government can do is have them accept that they (transvestites) are sick in order to receive their diploma? That's lame IMHO.

What's all the fuss about? Kudos to the transgenders... good for them. I am sure they would have complied by a decision to dress as men, but that is not the case. I am sure they asked for this and did it through the proper channels. They sound like reasonable and law-abiding citizens to me, who have just completed a full course at a Uni and got a degree through perseverance and hard work . Well-deserved and congratulations.

In the article it consistently says that they are transvestites. Any other assumptions made are just that - assumptions without any evidence.

      I know perfectly well about the various kinds of tests, you think this is some secret sacred knowledge, only you posess, but in reality a 12 year old can get it off google. I also studied carefully the studies for and against the effectiveness of masks, and my position is extremely well informed. So Chinese potash miners, huh? Overseas Banks? Aha. Do carry on. And if you could tell me what you're taking I wouldn't mind trying half a pill. Looks like a powerful trip.

      https://www.nature.com/articles/s44161-023-00336-5 Scientists should be wary of using the term "definitive" because it rarely is, and 5 year olds might misunderstand, and think all science is settled after a few months of study.

      Not a theory at all, but sarcasm at your selective acceptance of medical advice. You merrily accept the tests, without a clue how they were produced or function, but shout about masks based on a hunch. As I indicated, people who thought cloth masks didn't work at the start didn't really understand how masks work. You get a similar misunderstanding in the whole car filter debate; there was a huge debate why K&N oiled cloth or HKS foam air filters didn't cause an engine to grenade itself (basically because some people think air filters work like a sieve, and filter based on particle size, not on particle charge). Kids found a way to effectively bunk off school rather quickly https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210705-how-children-are-spoofing-covid-19-tests-with-soft-drinks https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-53383-8 You obviously missed the theory that the throat swab included with the Chinese made rapid tests was coated with nanoparticles. The mass distrubution of rapid tests were, to an extent, part of the theatre conducted to attempt to control the outbreak. The masks had a filtering function, but their most powerful effect was through behaviour modification, lines on the floor in supermarkets, handwash stations, lockdowns. None of them would be fully adhered to, but the intention was really to limit admissions. Chinese hospitals were initially over whelmed. Subsequent Chinese control measures meant that the admissions to their temporary hospitals were relatively modest. Italian hospitals came close to being overwhelmed, but local innovation prevented that. In the UK, the Nightingale Hospitals were in the end redundant, because of a combination of control measures and improved standards of care. The RAF were pretty serious in their C130 touch and go drills at City Airport, and tere were efforts to do a full 40 minute turn around of ambulances through the MOD. The antigen tests met acceptable performance under idealised conditions, But that was never matched in the field. People didn't swab throats properly, or their nose. They put too much buffer on, or not enough. The people at th testing stations were barely trained, so accuracy was less than ideal, but the testing, en masse, was enough to give a sense of direction. Thats why usage fell off the edge of a cliff in April. Usage is limited right now to syndromic surveillance, where that tersting is more under idealised conditions, with properly trained nurses testing, and conducting controls. Interesting theory #2; Sars-Cov-2 was uncovered by itinerant Chinese potash miners. Another idea was that investments by overseas banks had pushed Chinese smallholders onto virgin land, and thus into contact with novel diseases. There is an immunological reason why bats tend to be the origins of viruses that can really do a number on the human body.

      Thai gov. to tax (remitted) income from abroad for tax residents starting 2024 - Part II

      A fairly easy to read explainer which says that the SRT can make a person UK tax resident, even if the number of days spent in another country, makes them tax resident there also. Whilst technically not tax resident perhaps in the UK under formal rules, tax that arises there is still due and payable. The net affect being tax residency in two countries. https://www.uhy-uk.com/insights/becoming-non-uk-resident-can-you-escape-grasp-uk-taxation

      Oh really? Really???? Let's see, shall we, MicroB? “There have been many studies attempting to prove whether the virus is infecting cells of the inner blood vessel wall or not. “By conducting our experiments using real, infectious virus rather than fragments of the virus’s spike protein, we can definitively say it is not.” https://www.uq.edu.au/news/article/2021/10/vascular-disease-covid-19-not-caused-viral-infection-of-blood-vessels Oh dear. Does that mean you were talking nonsense, MicroB? It does, doesn't it? These studies support the conclusion that SARS-CoV-2 does not confer endothelial cell damage and vascular thrombosis through direct viral infection of those cells. They further demonstrate that the levels of circulating virus are too low to infect even endothelial cells that express very high levels of hACE2, and therefore that most COVID-19 pathology arises due to aerosol infection of the nasal and pulmonary epithelium. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10562591/ Yeah, looks like it does. Oh well.

      Yes it does. And clearly you don't understand the science. Your links don't support your claim that Covid is a "vascular "disease. For instance your nature article just talks about the effects Covid can have on the vascular system. You obviously simply fail to understand that COVID-19 can impact the entire body and cause a wide range of symptoms and complications. However, the latest research shows that the vascular symptoms of COVID-19 are caused by inflammation and not COVID-19. This means COVID-19 is still considered a respiratory disease, but it can have serious effects on the vascular system. Medical professionals and researchers have been studying the link between COVID-19 and vascular symptoms since the beginning of the pandemic. They have learned that people with severe COVID-19 are at a risk of strokes, blood clots, and other vascular complications. These observations led to several hypotheses that COVID-19 was a vascular disease with respiratory symptoms and not a respiratory disease. Studies in 2020 and 2021 supported this theory. These studies concluded that although people with mild to moderate COVID-19 only had respiratory symptoms, COVID-19 was primarily a vascular disease. However, additional studies published later in 2021and into 2022 have contraindicated these findings. New studies indicate that COVID-19 doesn’t attack the vascular system at all. https://www.healthline.com/health/covid-respiratory-or-vascular Like I said, not hard to understand, MicroB. You just need to read up a bit more. I'm sure you'll get there.

      Ok. But for tax treaty purposes, where, again, you have to determine which country is your tax treaty country of tax residence ('cause of the exclusionary or primary taxation rights language), you have to resort to the treaty's tie breaker language. From the link you provided:

      Sorry, I'm not the one posting rubbish. Only the bloke not from Catalonia is. The Spanish study was very speculative, given the nature of the lab, but there was very strong evidence reaching back to July 2019 that the virus was in circulation. You're clutching at Google straws.
