Dawn, a newspaper in Pakistan, banned my comment. Here's what I wanted to say on the subject of transgender in Thailand.
Like many other religions, Buddhism in Thailand is interpreted and practiced quite differently from Buddha’s original words, . Buddhists in Thailand believe in reincarnation and are superstitious, contrary to Buddha’s teaching about achieving enlightenment. In fact, to respond to this current social trend that a high percentage of Thai males become ladyboys or even successfully get surgery to look like real women, some Thai opinion makers stated that it is a result of past karma. In general, it’s socially acceptable for married Thai men to keep mistresses and girlfriends. As a result, these men’s promiscuity causes heartbreaks, pain and marital problems to their wives, children and those involved. These social commentators went on to say that in this current lifetime these men now suffer from an intense yearning and desire to become women and must feel the pain they had caused in their past life. It’s a payback. Then when they’re in female bodies, they consequently have to accept that fact they ‘re likely to become some guys’ mistresses and live the very same painful life they had once caused others to live through.
