Wilsonandson Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 By Ryan GeneralPosted on January 30, 2017As the world’s favorite sex-change surgery destination, Thailand definitely takes the cake in its recognition of the complexity of human sexuality. There are, in fact, 18 gender identities that are recognized in the local lexicon, according to RocketNews24.com The 18 Genders are not just men and women! (Straight) MaleA man who likes women. (Straight) FemaleA woman who likes men. TomA woman who dresses like a man and likes women or Dees. DeeA woman who likes manly women or Toms. Tom GayA woman who likes women, Toms, and Dees. Tom Gay KingA manly Tom who likes Toms. Bi(sexual)A woman who likes bisexuals, Toms, lesbians, and men. BoatA man who likes women, Gay Kings, and Gay Queens (does not include Ladyboys). Gay QueenA womanly man who likes men. Gay KingA manly man who likes men. Tom Gay Two-WayA Tom who can be both a Tom Gay King or Tom Gay Queen. Tom Gay QueenA womanly Tom who likes Toms. LesbianA woman who likes women. Kathoey/LadyboyA man who wants to be a woman. AdamA man who likes Toms. AngeeA Kathoey who likes Toms. CherryA woman who likes gay men and Kathoey. SamyaanA woman who likes Toms, lesbians, and women, and can also be any of them.” While shocking as this list may seem to some, it is important to note that since these are “gender identities” which are different from “biological sex.” There could be a myriad of other genders that people might identify with. This whole spectrum of other genders in Thailand is not too different from the West’s classification of the sexes as well. New York, for example, recognizes 31.

canuckamuck Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Those mostly aren't gender identities they are mainly sexual preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irwinfc Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 the english language is going to run out of pronouns, which is probably good in keeping confusion at bay. the use of "they" (the pronoun that non-binary people want to be used on them) is already causing short circuits in my brain.

AgMech Cowboy Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Truly, Facebook is lost. They don't even list Male or Female. I've no ideal what Cis or those 'other' pre-post words or acronyms mean. Thailand is truly diverse and lucky for you, most of you don't know what's said in private in Thai.

LOL There are only two sexes/genders: male and female, and perhaps three sexual orientations: hetero, homo and bi. Hetero and cisgendered is by far the norm for obvious reasons (our species would otherwise go extinct). Anything else is a tiny percentage of aberrations or deviations from the norm e.g. intersex. These outliers shouldn't be maligned, shamed or persecuted, but shouldn't be worshipped and celebrated as superior, enlightened or "special", either, just worth investigating and understanding without judgment (that's what modern science is or should be about). However, most of these new fake "genders" amount to being trendy social theories and post-modern fads for insecure, immature, narcissistic attention wh-, er, seekers who lack meaning or purpose in their lives. They definitely have "issues" if all they can do is elevate their "gender identity" to be the only important aspect of their existence or character. (See also "intersectionality" and other SJW dogma.) Generally, this myopic obsession with gender and sex is not a healthy trend for our Western societies or Western civilization. Noted social critic and sensible feminist Camille Paglia has observed most advanced civilizations in ages past went through a very sexually liberal "anything goes" phase just before they collapsed and theorized these more licentious and decadent periods signify the "late phase" of a civilization experiencing some sort of existential crisis. As I see mostly educated, liberal, secular, feminist, gay-friendly and often childless Europeans absolutely terrified of being called "racist" or "Nazi" allowing millions of frequently uneducated, illiberal, devoutly religious, misogynistic, homophobic and very fertile Arab, Muslim and African "refugees" to flood into their nations already experiencing anemic economic growth, overburdened welfare states and massive public debts, I'm starting to wonder if this is how it all ends.
