Ladyboys in the news!
There’s a lot of talk lately about ladyboys (Thais’ say “katoeys”) wanting to change their legal titles on their ID’s and paperwork to reflect “miss” instead of “mr.” before their names. They say that it is confusing when they go to apply for jobs and when doing other things in which their ID card is used…
There is a large article about it in the NATION newspaper that I’ll post below. This is not the first time ladyboys have attempted this change, but this latest effort seems like it has some momentum. There must be 100,000 ladyboys in the country, it should have some kind of backing!
Oh, they also want to remove the verbage for why ladyboys are not allowed to join the military. Previous lawmakers worded it in this way…
The reason for ladyboys not being allowed to join the military is because they have a “mental perversion”! Hahah! How’s that for politically correct wording in national documents?
Transsexual group does not want to ‘Miss’ out
Trans-gender beauty queen Yollada Krerkkong Suanyot has formed the TG Thailand group to campaign for transsexuals to be able to use the title “Miss” and have rights as women.

- It’s time to change. It’s pretty nnoying to see a “mr.” in all your official documents when you are actually not. I can’t see why Thai law doesn’t pay any legal tribute to ladyboys as they are bringing a lot of benefit to the country.
