View Full Version : Bathrooms in High School
BANGKOK, Thailand тАФ For teen boys who prefer to dress as girls at one rural high school in Thailand, taking a bathroom break no longer means choosing between "male" and "female" restrooms. There's now a "transvestite toilet."
The Kampang School in northeastern Thailand conducted a survey last term that showed more than 200 of the school's 2,600 students considered themselves transgender, said school director Sitisak Sumontha.
So, when classes resumed in May, the school unveiled a unisex restroom designated by a human figure split in half тАФ part man in blue and part woman in red. Below it are the words "Transvestite Toilet."
One of the reasons I love Thailand. I found this today on Fox News

For many years in the Welcome Plaza hotel in Pattaya, there was a sign in the Gents toilets written in Thai at the top and with an English translation underneath which read: "All Staff must wash their genitals before leaving"
I think either the translator was incompetent or had a very strange sense of humour!

My god! Does that mean that there is actually someone in the intelligent world who actually believes the crap and rubbish that they broadcast ?
Hmmm

That's around 7% of high school kids identifying as TG. I doubt that many endocrinologists or geneticists would believe that to be the true rate of gender dysphoria. One could write a thesis on what might be behind a figure like that, but let's just leave it at ..... TIT. It ain't Kansas, that's for sure.
Strange that Fox News didn't make more of this though - "Seven Percent of Thai High School Boys Think They Are Girls !".
More like 15% of the boys since the one's identifying as transgender were probably born with male genitalia.
Where is this school again? :cheers:
Seriously, back in the West the bathroom issue is a big deal for TS but in most of the LOS those who dress as ladies use the ladies room and no one complains.
Well they're certainly not water closets............ :geek:
Why do Americans find the need to refer to toilets as bathrooms or restrooms? They are not either.
Would would you like them to be called? Not "toilets", I hope, as that refers to the actual porcelain fixture and is very low-class when used to refer to the room in which they are typically situated.
If you're going to quote Webster's, you better check their definitions of "bathroom" and "restroom" as well. Both are synonymous with lavatory. It may be a pet peeve of yours that they are commonly used to indicate a facility equipped with toilets, but that is all.

Toilet / restroom / bathroom ... the real tricky bit comes when you ask an American for Toilet Roll - what they imagine this can be I don't know, but they, in my experience, tend to stare nervously having been found out at not knowing something! Whether they think this is gymnastics performed in a toliet I have no idea, but they can't seem to even consider that Toilet Roll and Toilet paper could be one and the same thing!
