Thai Transgender Power

Q1. She is a manager of L' Occitane, a French cosmetic company.

Q2. Crystle feels she was born to be a transgender. She is very natural and a sincere person. She has   
       great ability to get along well with practically everybody. Moreover, Crystle is a vegetarian and  
       not a smoker or drinker.

Q3. On June 22nd, 2007, she went to a nightclub at Novotel Silom Hotel in Bangkok. When she
       showed her identity card and driver license to prove that she was over eighteen, the receptionist
       said the club doesn't allow transgender to get in.

Q4. The constitution in Thailand was added transgender and gay rights for the first time in its history.

Q5. In Japan today, if a person becomes a transgender, he or she can actually change the gender on  
       the family register. Unfortunately, same-gender marriage is not allowed. However, I
       think the general impression toward transgender and gay became tolerant than before. Due to
       famous transgender and gays or many interesting talks about them on television, men and women
       of all ages have an opportunity to know them. Still, by watching television, I consider that they 
       are tend to be made fun of being unique rather than being accepted as normal people. I hope
       the society will recognize them as they want to be recognized, not the framework for just men or
       women.
