Ladyboys in the news!

There's a lot of talk lately about ladyboys (Thais' say "katoeys") wanting to change their legal titles on their ID's and paperwork to reflect "miss" instead of "mr." before their names. They say that it is confusing when they go to apply for jobs and when doing other things in which their ID card is used...

There is a large article about it in the NATION newspaper that I'll post below. This is not the first time ladyboys have attempted this change, but this latest effort seems like it has some momentum. There must be 100,000 ladyboys in the country, it should have some kind of backing!
