‘Transvestite Toilet’ created for students at Thai college
”These students want to be able to go in peace without fear of being watched, laughed at or groped…. They don’t have problems with transvestites but going to the same private area, like a toilet, makes them uneasy. The transvestite kids may behave even more effeminately than the girls do, but their anatomy is still like that of a boy.”
Sitisak Sumontha, Director of the Kampang School, a 1,500-student technical college in Thailand that has created a bathroom for use by transgender students including a door icon that is half-male, half-female. (Telegraph.co.uk)
