Thai Ladyboys considered as sextoys and abused

Transgenders abused, ignored or viewed as sex toys, study reveals

The transgender group is discriminated and dehumanised in Thai society because of heterosexual thinking, according to new research by Srinakharinwirot University's Graduate School.

Society is dominated by heterosexual thinking which has divided human beings into only man and woman and this belief ignores people who have different sexual preferences, said Dr Kittikorn Sankatiprapha, who conducted a study called "Sexual harassment against katoey [transvestites]: significant under heterosexual discourse".

"Thai society treats katoey the worst among other homosexual groups and most social institutions neglected this group," Kittikorn said.

When hearing about sexual harassment of katoey, most people do not take it seriously but often make fun of them. They are exploited and humiliated in many ways, with some people viewing them as sex toys, the researcher added.

Instead of dominating people with heterosexual thinking, social institutions, including legal and educational bodies, should encourage society to learn and respect other ways of thinking about sexual preferences, Kittikorn said.

Is Butterfly reading this?

They need to start pointing the finger at the ones on TV that allow themselves to be used as the butt of jokes and the ones in movies that are made fun of.

People stop seeing that all the time they might start respecting them mire

Fact - Never met a katoey in more than 25 years that wasn't a thief and a liar and I gave many of them the benefit of the doubt, yet they still fucked up.
Maybe they need to improve their image.

Maybe you should move up to better circles?

But isn't the very image they are trying to portray based on deceit? Why should I show respect for people who pretend to be something they are not?

Stupid people trying to pretend they are smart, politicians trying to pretend they are honest, street vendors trying to charge you 5 times the actual price of goods, etc, etc - I don't have any respect for those people, so why should I have any for katoys?

Respect you have to earn, so why don't they start behaving a bit more respectable themselves? Maybe then they will find that peoples attitudes towards them will change? Oh - I forgot - if they stop pretending to be women, then they are no longer katoy, are they?

[Thetyim]

Maybe they need to improve their image.

Their image is bad.
Apart from a beauty show held once a year prostitution is the other reason to read about them.

What percentage of katoeys work in the sex industry ?
Is it 90% or 5% I have no idea ?

[slimboyfat]

i would have thought a lot of them have to at least initially work in the sex industry, as all those operations and stuff arent cheap.

[watterinja]

... that allow themselves to be used as the butt ...

Rather profound...

"Thai ladyboys used as sextoys and abused."


The funniest way to accomplish this is in Cascade is to ask them to lower their bikini briefs, then to pull their willies out as far as you can till they squeal.

Usually they extend out about 7 inches (flaccid) before the excruciating pain kicks in.

Why on Earth would you want to play with a bloke's knob?

[stroller]

In nightlife areas it's katoyes who do the "sexual harassing", not the other way round.
I have met a number of ladyboys through friends and family, and have not noticed any problem in this social context.

[The Ghost Of The Moog]

Dunno

I ask the Waffen SS same-same question.

[Butterfly]

those working in the sex industry, yes they are being abused.

It's like bargirls asking for more equal rights and being tired of being sex toys

a bit ridiculous,

[stroller]

The Moog is a bit 'different' from other people, and it's not just his so-called sense of humour.

Absolutely, I cant walk by with them trying to make physical contact or grab my stuff.

And actually this isnt just in nightlife areas it is on the train, in the bus, at malls and just about everywhere I have been and encountered one.

I had a group of them working at a Omelet stand near my place once and they did nothing but scream and yell about whatever drama they were involved in in their nails on a chalkboard voices.
Maybe if they were to act more civilized people wouldnt discriminate against them.

Maybe not all of them are like that but about 97% I think are.

I think the general consensus in Butterfly's last ladyboy related thread, was that manhandling a ladyboy's todger was somewhat gay. In the Moog's case, however, it just sounds sadistic.

Please do tell us about your experiences with the Katoeys you have met in your "better circles"

I don't think it is heterosexual thinking that has divided human beings into only man and woman. Our maker did that.

.....this belief ignores people who have different SEXUAL PREFENCES....
prefences is the key word - if you choose to be different you will be treated different.

If someone's prefence is to rob banks - does that make it right? How will this person be treated?

If someone's prefence is to suck off little boys or rape young girls - does that make it right? How will this person be treated?

You can have a preference to be or not to be or to do or not to do many things. However, your preference does not make it right.

There is only two sexes: MALE and FEMALE.

[Sir Burr]

Hmmmm......guess you are one of those people who think homosexuals choose to be that way and are not born that way.

[stroller]

You miss the point, the article is about discrimination.

What does any of this have to do with transvestites or transsexuals?
Do guys who wear women's clothes rob banks or suck off little boys???
What an idiotic comparison.

You are right. That is the way I think.

No stroller, you missed the point. These people choose to be different so they are treated different.

As far as idiotic - sounds close to the description of someone I know on this forum

[stroller]

I note that you have no argument in response to my comment, and don't even attempt to adress the points I raised - but couldn't refrain from slipping in a cheap personal attack.

Further, you are ill-informed in believing sexual orientation is strictly a matter of choice.
Can you imagine to "choose" to be gay, for example?
Would you suddenly be attracted to men through an act of will making a choice?
