1) Why are there so many transgender people in Thailand?
In Thailand, there are a lot of the poor and they have many children. I heard that in Thailand, men are difficult to get better job unless having good academic background, so the boys in poor are more difficult to get job than the girls. I think that the background make men change their consciousness, in short, they live as women. Besides, the skill of sex chage operation in Thailand is very high level, so men which want to live as women can challenge the operation easily. Actually, many Japanese men go to Thailand to change their sex. maybe Thailand is the country which is the most hospitable to transgender in any country.
2) What do you think about transgender people and their civil rights?
I think transgender people should have civil rights. Lately, 'gender identity disorder' has been known to many people, and many people are suffering from their sex. We should understand their suffering and be generous to them.
