Hi. Thai here. Almost nobody in Thailand uses the term “ladyboy” when discussing trans identity in Thai. The word is an orientalist construction and is a Western projection that exists only within English speaking contexts. What these viral misinformed takes always leave out is that trans women in Thailand use feminine language in the exact same way cis women do, and they are addressed as women by almost everyone whether they are conservatives, men, women, children, monks etc. Unlike Indonesia, very few people in Thailand spend time policing other people’s use of language, which restrooms they use and how they choose to live their lives. These hot takes from people stems from one thing: the fact that most of you have never actually known a trans person, listened to a trans person, or opened your hearts to one in real life. And you certainly don’t understand how Thai language functions either. In Thailand this is almost unthinkable as Trans people are normalised members of society. You can’t avoid trans people in Thailand because they don’t need to hide. If their family doesn’t accept them, they still have friends and the larger Thai community to lean on. They are doctors, nurses, business owners, entertainers, teachers, service workers, creatives, athletes, and more. While you’re all busy debating bathroom politics and indulging in religious and political hysteria, the world keeps turning in Thailand lol I see this discourse often and it really does expose how colonial language hierarchies erase the nuance of non-Western gender systems - systems that, while imperfect and still evolving, have long recognised identities beyond the narrow Western binary and flatten them into stereotypes for global consumption. I’ve said this before but social media algorithms amplify English-language content to the rest of the world while Thai opinions remain trapped within Thailand’s content ecosystem. That asymmetry is exactly why so many of you speak about Thais instead of with Thais and it’s why your understanding of Thai trans identity will always sound like a mistranslation.

Weapons was good. Perfect folk horror but better than Sinners? That's crazy talk.

Task is a great show. Another banger from Brad Ingelsby, same guy that did Mare of Easttown & it is also set outside Philly. Please tho stop trying to do a mid Atlantic accent. It's pretty bad. 1 accent that is almost impossible to learn.

School children get murdered in schools constantly and nobody gives a shit. ITS KIND OF THE POINT OF THE MOVE.

Worst night ever as a NSC fan #UpTheYotes

It is both wild & testament to their unprecedented dominance that the Messi v CR7 debate rages on to this day. Have we ever seen 2 players elevate themselves above the field by so much for so long & win everything?

This guy has a rare gift nowadays. Critical thinking.

I can't stomach the possibility of another coaching change @ManUtd but if it must happen, maybe taking a chance on a promising young Manager isn't the way forward. Hire someone established w/ a track record of success at big Clubs known for drama.

No surprise but it's C for me. Mountains, the great lakes, beaches, best cities in the US, food, soccer & lax, diversity & in New England actual nice liberal rural pastoral perfection.

I have lived in & traveled the entirety of the USA & the answer is C for Queens alone though there are a lot of places contributing.

I don't even like football but how I evaluate a stadium will never be the same.

IS UTAH TRYING TO LOSE THIS CASE?! - UT v Robinson I just watched Utah Prosecutor Jeff Gray publicly read aloud private text messages, interviews, and alleged confessions during a press conference - BEFORE TRIAL - about UT v. Tyler Robinson (Charlie Kirk Shooting Case) He even referred to them at the press conference as FACTS. Are you kidding me? Oversharing inculpatory evidence like this is a HUGE constitutional no-no. Even the slap on of a vague disclaimer like “we want a fair trial,” the damage is already done. Also, the statements by Gray of "We will not be speaking to the press during the trial" AFTER READING ACTUAL TESTIMONY AND EVIDENCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN VETTED BY THE COURT, is a lame and empty attempt to cover this massive violation of = due process, 4th Amendment, 5th Amendment, etc = the presumption of innocence, = and the integrity of the entire case. This is not just an error in strategy, this is potentially a legally destructive action. We will see motions to: Suppress tainted jury pools Request sequestration or gag orders Move for change of venue Seek exclusion of evidence due to taint or even Mistrial! Ultimately, the defense may assert reversible error on appeal if the court fails to act It is NOT a subject up to interpretation. There is long standing case law on this. The Supreme Court in Sheppard v. Maxwell, 384 U.S. 333 (1966) reversed Sheppard’s conviction, ruling 7–2 that he was denied a fair trial due to a failure to shield the proceedings from prejudicial media coverage. Majority Opinion (Justice Clark): The Court held that while freedom of the press is essential, it must not override a defendant’s right to a fair trial.

BREAKING: The FBI, run by two podcasters, is actively investigating the murder of a third podcaster, while the vice president cosplays a fourth podcaster to host the show run by the third podcaster. The USA: brought to you by Squarespace, Betterhelp & Express VPN.

PSA MEDIA: The Trump regime is spreading the LIE that the shooter “went bad very quickly” because they intend to falsely blame “left” and “transgender ideology” for Charlie Kirk’s murder. Tyler Robinson was deeply into NEO-NAZI ideology in 2018. Do NOT repeat this lie.

We are so fucking nakedly seeing the construction of a new collective libel towards an entire marginalized group in real time. Just brazenly offloading the sum total of the sins of American society onto a group that constitutes a single percentage point of the population

There is no such thing as "trans ideology." The most prominent transgender person in the country is a lifelong Republican, Trump donor and former Olympian legend. The difference between left and right on this is not indoctrination, it's acceptance.
