Sam Winter from Hong Kong University recently wrote to the Quasi
Governmental Broadcast Authority in HK about a programme ATV ran a
couple of weeks ago about Thai transwomen, "in which the Cantonese
slang word 'yan yiu' ('human monster') was used consistently, and to
the almost complete exclusion of any other word (for example 28 times
in the space of just 11 minutes)."
