Thai transgender power

1) What is Crystal's job? What company does she work for?
She is the manager of a French Cosmetic Company. The company's name is L'occitane.

2) Tell us more interesting things of Crystal.
She doesn't smoke and is a vegetarian.

3) Something happened to Crystal. What happened to her?
At the Concept CM2 nightclub in Bangkok's Novotel Silom Hotel she was discriminated that no transgender were allowed to go in.

4) As a result of what happened to her, there was a big change in the constitution of Thailand. What was the change?
The Assembly wrote equal rights for gay and transgender people into the constitution. August 19, 2007 was the first time in history that transgender and gay people were given rights.

5) How about Japan compared to Thailand. Will we have this in Japan in the future?
I feel that Japanese people have more understanding to transgender and gay people. That is because there are many transgender and gay entertainers on television such as Ai Haruna and Matsuko Delux. They are very funny and gives a good impression to me. However, I understand that not all people understand the transgender and gay people and that not all of them are understood. It may be necessary to give transgender and gay people in Japan the rights as well.
