Lady Boys, language, known as "katoey" in Thai, will remain a deep fascination for those that homophobia trip to Thailand, which is seen as a country without many tourists from all over. But Chiang Mai recent signs of a popular late-night dance club said: "No Lady Boys." Rumors of various age Ladyboys in Bangkok and Pattaya to attack foreigners and rob has a new fear in recent years has created, along with a suspicious attitude towards what is oftenin Thailand as a "third sex".
No doubt there are culprits were occasional groups of people who come to pass, illegal acts committed Lady Boys are like that and cost. Thailand has also seen its fair share of crime done by all kinds and various elements of society, but it seems that a certain distinction, if the offender or suspect is described as a ladyboy, which means some correlation between intrinsic Lady BoysViolence.
Lady Boys are seen in Switzerland in almost all aspects of working in small rural villages and urban areas. Some are employed in restaurants, while others have their own coffee. Ladyboys work in shops, banks, spas, market and virtually all sectors of society. Some are teachers, other students are. Some non-government schools have also recently built toilet system for the third labeled with a sign in front of the door as a "thirdGender. "
But the question remains whether homophobia existed in the country of smiles. Many Thais regard the acceptance of ladyboys very different to accept homosexuality. When asked: "Is your boyfriend gay?" If you often say, "No, he is a ladyboy," what's the difference if the data exclusively male friend or not. Ladyboy descriptions of friends, but also laughter, and often include notes that are omitted in the description of the right friends. Jokescould be considered offensive to be kept for a period in which the person is talking about is out of the room.
Not unlike in some Western societies, parents of young women in Thailand, many feel a great sense of disappointment and shame, but the topic is never addressed may be verbal.
In 2009, the Gay Pride Parade in Chiang Mai through the so-called Red Shirt protesters blocked, it said represented the culture of the North, essentially ended any reference to acceptance ofHomosexuality. Yet gay men who do not "act" do as Lady Boys are often hired to work in government positions.
Ladyboys Thai people out there in the night life, the freedom of all, because they are often seen as a showgirl and probably in high places. But it is questionable whether the need is accepted for more than a real desire for attention. If Thailand really accept homosexuals and heterosexuals alike, there would be two, such a distinction between '? IfPeople were really comfortable with gender differences, there would be no need for continuous so famous and so is a ladyboy? Because, as people often imagine a heterosexual friend who is right?
As the world than in other parts of Thailand, is in many ways far more tolerant in terms of intolerance and discrimination against gays and lesbians face on a daily basis in other countries. However, it is important to ask whether people are reallyfree to be themselves without the same protection as heterosexuals in a given society.
Although many Westerners Gay Thailand to the sanctity of his country, local human rights groups are still in the area of equal rights in Thailand. Although Lady Boys are clearly visible in mainstream pop culture and everyday life, an open discussion of homosexuality is virtually non-existent.
Thailand is a country of openness in relation to humanSexuality, but until the government accepts all of their civil rights, which are under the law, will never be as free and liberal as some visitors led to believe. At the same time, perhaps, the mere acceptance of the Lady Boys, the first step in the conquest of discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Degree of homophobia are on different levels, all over the world, including Thailand. Perhaps the Land of Smiles is a day the land of equality and popularAll kinds, and could pave the road Katoeys.
