The recent beating of a transgender individual in the media highlights the problems facing transgender individuals. The world might be educated by studying how Thailand views and treats transgender individuals. In Thai we call them Katoeys which is translated into Ladyboy in English. I have pioneered the recognition of Ladyboy rights at Uttaradit University in Thailand and look forward to educating people about Thai ladyboys and networking with international ladyboys. As Dean of the Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty at Uttaradit University I am in a unique position to practice what I preach. I have been a leader in recruiting Ladyboys into my faculty where I have learned about their aspirations and their fears. They are very beautiful, just like real women, and Thailand consistently produces the winner of the international Ladyboy competitions throughout the world. I hope this blog helps to dispel some myths about Ladyboys and helps to create an international dialogue. Please see my ladyboy education blog at http://yongyuthintajuck.blogspot.com
