Not necessarily stuck in the beauty industry. It’s big in Thailand and many other Asian countries where trans women have no choice to resort to sex trade. For them to have a career in beauty modeling or anything for that matter would be better than that. Unfortunately they are still not treated fairly and the same.

@@SpectrumOfChange Honestly, Dr. Thep at Poly Clinic is quite an outlier in Thailand. Almost all the other transgender clinics in Thailand are at western standard in terms of rooms and private accommodations with higher prices to match, of course. Kamol Cosmetic Hospital, Suporn, etc. The reason my girl went to Dr. Thep is that he's just really amazing at breast surgery. You want to get it right the first time and breasts are notoriously difficult to correct later on to make them even. I have literally known girls who had work done in Beverly Hills and then revisions and it still wasn't right. She went to Dr. Thep and he sorted it out. He's just an amazing surgeon.

Trans men have existed in wlw/lesbian spaces in the west as well.

It was interesting to see the diversity of gay life in Thailand. It was a well presented documentary, but it was tainted at the end with a political slur. Unfortunately, people have become more and more indoctrinated in the US. Perhaps that's one reason the phrase "Ugly American" became popular.

The us can learn something from their trans and Apple's agency. The fact of not being represented as a woman but as who they are, transgender, being so meaningful to them speaks volumes about what is happening here. Be proud of who you are, dont try to be someone you arnt. As a woman thats my biggest issue with the trans here, otherwise i wouldnt care. I just dont see my being as something that they can impersonate. But they want to overtake what being a woman is instead of standing in their own identity. I think it's insecurity based, otherwise why diamantel women and over take the word and everything its comprised of. Imo they can be there own beings. Be proud of their journey just dont down play others. You dont find equality and acceptance by impersonating another. You find it by being true to yourself and respectful to society. It shouldn't overshadow women it should be in line with. We are uniquely different and that is a beautiful thing. If more transwomen here learned to respect the people they are idolizing they wouldnt have so much backlash, but when you can't respect the work and lives off the women you base yourself off of while using their identity to validate yourself there's really nothing left to talk about.
