(1) Why are these so many transgender people in Thailand?
According to informations which I searched on the Web, Thailand is a Buddhist country and a matrilineal society. That's why Thailand is tolerant of transgender people. Also, transsexual surgery is legal, so technique of surgery is better than any other country. For these reason, transgender people of other countries come to Thailand more and more, so I think there are many people in Thailand.
(2) What do you think about transgender people and civil right?
I think transgender people should be accepted by the public. I have once seen transgender people curiouly, but now I don't definitely see them like that. Recently, there are meny transgender people who express themselves confidently. I think it's very good. If many transgender people do that, it becomes easy for them to live in public still more. Transgender is personality, so I think it is a matter of course that their civil rights should be approved.
