I don't think I've even seen a transsexual, makes you wonder how one school can have enough to warrant having their own toilet facilities...

[Black Flame]

The 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.

Wow, 10%-20% for a single school? Crazy.

Well...more power to them.

You mean, you've never knowingly seen one You might have seen loads

I went ibiza a few years back and it was full of tranys!

[GamerAsh]

Yeah, I've never seen that. I though Transexuals where the ones who actually had the op to become the other gender?

Hence, "I don't think I've ever seen...".

"They used to be teased every time they used the boys' toilets," he said, "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."

So giving them their own special tranny toilet is gonna make all the other kids think its cool now?

That's not the idea.
It's to help them, not help the others.

But surely anyone seen going near those toilets is going to be ridiculed, they can use either toilet perfectly fine but instead they insist on having their own which is just making them look even more of a joke IMO.

So you'd have them hide who they are to remain unhassled?
Nice of you

[Breadfan]

to each their own i guess. I'd be looking more into why the culture is having so many issues with their born gender. I don't say transexuals are a bad thing... I do think that there's something to be said about dramatic changes in any group.

I guess to me, finding out WHY there are so many in the first place would seem like a better move.


But it's not a terrible idea. It's better than the alternative view when you walk into the bathroom

That's pretty over-the-top. =/

[Breadfan]

Anyone remember me asking "What bathroom does a transvestite use?" A couple years back?

I say they use whichever one they look most like. If they can be mistaken for a girl and even wear girl clothes but have a wang, they can go to the girl one and sit down. If it's just a girly looking dude he should go into the guys bathroom and be made fun of if that's what happens. Just the same as the guy with the stupid haircut or the boy who wears bright yellow sweaters because his grandma makes them for him and he wears them to make her happy even though they are itchy as hell and kinda tight on the throat but stupid kids make fun of him for it.

I hear it's full of tranny's.

Political correctness gone mad..

[ROFLCopterz]

I think its a good idea. Thats all.

[Breadfan]

I know a pre-op guy at my work who dresses like a girl, and (s)he always goes into the girl bathroom. It's easiest that way since (s)he looks like a girl, and can go in there and sit down and act like (s)he wipes when (s)he pees.

It would be odd if (s)he stood at a urinal, that's for sure.

[Daniel#1]

O well as for me, i haven't seen a trans either, or i don't think i had. Would imagine they cover themselves up pretty well to not be noticable.

[Amagius]

Doesn't seem like political correctness gone mad. It comes off as a compromise that makes everyone happy. *golfclap*

[Amiko]

Yeh.. i've been to Ibiza. It's abnormal there, the'res waaaaaay to many of them. Even like the dancing pole girls are trannys sometimes. If you think that's sick... go to THailand. People confuse their dads with their moms hardcore

[illicit]

I think while in America we would think this to be weird, but in a place where being a transsexual is accepted/tolerated, and such a large chunk of the population falls into that category, it's no longer a "compromise that makes everyone happy". It's a lot better than someone with a penis using the girls bathroom imo. I think that overall, this was a good idea.

[rockage]

Imagine the laughter the recieve after getting caught going in one ?
