It's great that there can exist a society that respects freedom and tolerance without being bogged down by hatred and religious fundamentalism.

I guess nothing is wrong and anyone can do anything they want if it feels good :confused:

In the case of Thailand and acceptance of transsexuals, there is nothing wrong with it. Isn't that what "freedom" is all about? You remember that, don't you? Or is "freedom" to you merely the right to drive an SUV while listening to Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA", but all those who don't conform can go to Hell...

Talk about hypocritical... What the heck do SUV's and Lee Greenwood have do with anything besides your hate?

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I may very well be) but isn't the reason the transsexual population is so large in Thailand is because all or most gay men are strongly encouraged to become women by their culture?

Also, isn't the exploitation of their "ladyboys" quite bad?

So then please explain...

Explain why a man going so far as getting breast implants is ok first.

Sure. If that man wants to do that of his own free will (or to take female hormones and grow them naturally), and in doing so makes him happy, then who are you or I to say that it's not ok?


Exactly, the dude doing this is hurting no one.

I have a better idea. Why don't you explain why it's not okay first.
