Lady Boy Loos Launched In Thailand

Authorities of Chaing Mai Technology College have opened a 'third sex' restroom after transvestites at the Thailand University complained of being harassed when using both the ladies and gents' toilets.

"We are just trying to solve the problems of one group that is unhappy at school," said college principal Posaporn Promprakai

Legendary Brit transvestite Tasty Tim, who's been DJing in drag since the early 80s, told Skrufff he welcomes the concept, declaring 'I love the idea of the "middlesex" rest room'.

"Certain clubs in London ie: Fabric to name one, already have unisex bathrooms and this saves a lot of trouble but given the choice, I always use the ladies," Tim revealed; "they always have better mirrors."

"What I do find disturbing, however, is the fact that the lady boys of Thailand had been receiving so much discrimination that they felt that they needed one at all," the gender-bender icon added, "particularly given that lady boys and transsexuals are quite common to Thai culture."

Transsexual DJ Alex Silverfish was less enthusiastic about the plan, telling Skrufff, 'I've never believed in third sex politics as they are another form of discrimination against transsexuals.'

"Transsexuals happily use the girls' toilets and sit down when urinating whereas male toilets are usually disgusting," she added.

"So-called third sex people are commonly pre-op transgenders and they're in the difficult stage of transitioning from one gender to another," she added, "thus using the girls' is totally appropriate."
