Bullying and Violence Make Asian Schools Unsafe for LGBT

BANGKOK — When Angsanil Kaewmusi, attended school back home in Uthai Thani province, she couldn’t enter a restroom without being hounded.

A woman at heart, the 19-year-old doesn’t like to stand up when she goes to the bathroom. It was after she would enter a stall in the restroom and close the door that boys would start splashing water into the toilet.

“Sometimes they’ll insult my parents,” she said, referring to taunts from her classmates. Boys would sometimes squeeze her chest, thinking it was acceptable because they think she is the same sex. After facing frequent verbal and physical abuse at her school, she relocated to Bangkok, where she says she is happy now.

Toilet anecdotes were in ready supply among reports of discrimination and violence against third-gender students in a UNESCO report deeming educational institutions in Asia unsafe for the LGBT community, where the majority have experienced violence or bullying, the consequences of which can be dropping out or suicide.

Please! Why don't they just come out and say they are talking about a ladyboy instead of using the headline "woman at heart" Such is the price these cross dressers and cross genders have to pay all over the world. Sorry if you TV ladyboy lovers aren't thinking the same. But these are kids we are talking about. If you never had any kids because of your sexual preference then you wouldn't know that all kids, make and female, tease and harass and make insult anything that is not in the norm. For this writer to claim it makes the schools in Asia unsafe for those reasons strictly against a ladyboy is outrageous.

As it seems not operated.....So it wouldn't be different if I use the woman toilet and claim I am woman at heart.

I thought ladyboys used the girls

What is an LGBT? Lady-Girl/Boy-Transvestite????

I know what an LBFM is, but LGBT is a new one on me.

Lesbian, gay, bi, transgender.

Thainess and it isn't going to change. That is why Thailand doesn't want TPP, they'd have to stop this bullying in order to trade with the other Trans Pacific Nations that don't have bullying as an ongoing part of their national makeup.
