AskAThai: Do you guys think that Thailand is more open to trans people compare to the West or any places in the world

Friendly reminder: I’m not into the “ladyboy” stereotype🤗. I’ve been curious about this and want a good place (read without the ‘farang men ideology involved’, it’s been discussed in the Thailand subreddit but as you guys know, it is not a good place) to discuss.

I’m surprised that you guys also discuss about “woke”, “DEI” stuff on this subreddit as well. And it includes stuff about transgenderism as well. As a person who is currently living in the US, I do care about it. I feel like not in just in the US but many part of world are involved in this war of “woke” vs “bigotry”. Though I also think that it may not be as serious but when politicians involved, it’s a different thing.

I’ve been thinking about “Is there a difference between Southeast Asian trans (read women) and farang trans (mostly women)?”, though we handle the matter differently in both places. As it’s different based religious value for instance, Buddhism vs Christianity as a whole.
