In Thailand you can find a big community of transsexual people who are more than in any other society able to live more or less the way they want. Even not all people (especially Thai men) agree in the fact they are showing in the public, they are widely accepted.
Emmi, who recognized with the age of 6 years that she does not want to be a boy - was one of them.
Here in Railay I hang quite often at her tourist information shop and made fun about tourists, had a lot of discussion with her about life in terms what people make really happy - the fact that baring down social conventions could be really hard and needs a lot of courage.
So even we might think their behaviour seems gay or unnatural and a lot of people might be afraid of being raped by them - which is ridiculous, I can only recommend to face them in a open way and you will be surprised if you listen to them what you can learn from them, cause they are much more open minded and free than we are...
Thx Emmi!
