Transgendered people are not regarded as unusual in Thailand, but even so a new law is poised to ban castration procedures for biological males under the age of 18--and the new law is the result of GLBT activists.

From what I see, this is a law coming from transphobic gays who think

Most gays I talk too don't understand that TS and them are not part of the
same continuum. They understand it even less than the general public.
