The main character of this documentary is Crystal who is a male-to-female transgender woman lives in Thailand.
She works as a manager of a famous cosmetic company and nobody doubts that she is a transgender because she is so natural.
On June 22 2007, she was rejected to enter a club in Novotel for being a transgender.
She was shocked, so she called Bangkok Rainbow Organization to talk about the issue and decided to sue Novotel.
As a result, the manager of Novotel apologized and resigned taking responsibility.
After that, the military coup took place in Thailand and on September 19 2006, the government set up the new constitution which stated the equal rights for gays and transgendered people.
It is amazing that one transgender woman has changed the constitution of one country.
Gays and transgendered people are in the minority in Japan, but we need to think about this issue as well.
I chose an article about gay marriages for the next media discussion.
I am looking forward to talking about it in the class.
Have a great weekend :))
