a transexual toilet in a Thai school !!????!!!

A Thai school has created toilets for its transgender students with a sign that's half male, half female - with the words Transvestite Toilet  printed underneath.



The Kamphaeng School in Si Sa Ket, in northeastern Thailand opened separate toilet facilities to accommodate hundreds of transgender students.
Headteacher, Sitisak Sumontha, estimates that in any year, between 10% and 20% of his boys consider themselves to be transgender - boys who would rather be girls.
These students want to be able to go in peace without fear of being watched, laughed at or groped, he said.
They used to be teased every time they used the boys' toilets so they started using the girls' toilets instead. But that made the girls feel uncomfortable. It made these boys unhappy, and started to affect their work.
They(girls) don't have problems with transvestites but going to the same private area, like a toilet, makes them uneasy, he said.
The transvestite kids may behave even more effeminately than the girls do, but their anatomy is still like that of a boy.
Student Tanisorn Khantivong, aged 17, said: "It was inconvenient when we didn't have our own toilet.
Then we had to use both male and female toilets when there were no people in them. It was a bit uncomfortable.
Mr Sumontha said the students were no longer allowed to use female toilets but could still use the male toilets if they wanted to.
Predominantly Buddhist Thailand is relatively tolerant of homosexuality and Bangkok is a global centre for sex-change surgery.

  1. What Double Ended Shower Bath Looks Like? Double Ended Shower Bath is simply a bathtub that has few distinctive qualities. The biggest feature about it is its utility and shape.
