Thailand transgender power

1) What is the job of Crystal?
What company does she work for?
She's the manager of a French cosmetic company, L'Occitane.

2) Tell us more interesting thing about her.
She was actually a man, but she dresses and acts like a woman, she loves a man. So instead of being a gay, she transgendered. It was not easy for her parents to accept that she became a woman, since her mother is a professor and her father is a doctor. She doesn't drink and smoke, she is a vegetarian. The managing director admires her way of working, saying this is the person that she was looking for.

3) what happened to her?
On June 22, 2007, at 11:00 pm, when she went with her friend to the Concept CM2 nightclub in Bangkok's Novotel Silom Hotel and showed her identity card to enter it, they didn't allow her because she is a transgendered person. After the incidence, she claimed that the policy of the Novotel people is wrong.

4) As a result, there was a big change of constitution in Thailand. What was the change?
On August 19, 2007, Thailand would have transgender and gay rights.

5) How about Japan compared to Thailand?
Though on TV we can see many men who dress and act like a woman, in Japan there is no right for gays and transgendered people. They seem to be accepted by almost all the people, but sometimes they are discriminated. Human beings tend to discriminate against a minority group, it's a bad thing. I hope there will be the rights for gays and transgendered people in Japan as well and all the people can live equally.
