Transsexual toilets for Thai school

(Daily News on http://www.parsnewz.com/blog )
A Thai school has created toilets for its transgender students with a sign that's half male, half female.

The Kamphaeng School in Si Sa Ket, in northeastern Thailand opened separate toilet facilities to accommodate hundreds of transgender students who have always longed for their own restroom.

Helen Long reports.SOUNDBITES:
# Sittisak Sumontha, Kamphaeng School Direction, saying (Thai):
"When they used the male toilets, they would be teased so they would just go to the female toilets with their female friends. When I saw that, I wondered if the girls felt uncomfortable . When I asked the female students how they felt about it they told me that it all depended on whether the transgender students were their friends or not."
# Wichai Saengsakul, Transgender student, saying (Thai):
"I want them (school officials) to decorate the toilet to make it better than this. Something like, painting the toilet pink because it suits us - maybe a flower pattern."

welcome to the future. many countries allow and tolerate gay people and gay marriages. America is starting to convert as you can see some American states already allow gay marriage and many more petitions have been filed. The fact of the matter is that America is changing around you and you don't like it. Keep your old values. America will move forward whether you like it or not. Tolerance is the key but obviously, you Americans can only tolerate to a certain level. You are not ready.

Wait, are these just gay boys? If so, I'd use it to :P

[jaquesvee]

weather or not you agree or disagree, gays and transexuals are always going to exist. There much more visible in society now that theres so many hate crimes against them. Hence they get the freedom they deserve and nobody has to hide anymore. So all you homophobes seriously need to get over it. because were here and always will be.
