0/10 by 0 users
Thailand is increasingly accepting into society transgender women or "ladyboys" as they are commonly known around the country. One school has created separate washrooms for transgender students because nearly 20% of its male population is considered "third gender." In northeastern Thailand a transgender entrepreneur was recently elected as a local council member. In a bold, historic move, a Thai airline company became the first to hire transgender flight attendants. In this episode of Asia Insight we follow several transgender women as they remain true to their identities and strive to affirm their role in Thai society.
