Transgender-tolerant Thailand has opened what may be the world's first "transvestite toilet." Not in the heart of Bangkok's gay Silom Road area, but at a high school in the rural northeast's Sisaket province.“These students want to be able to go to the restroom in peace without fear of being watched, laughed at or groped,” said school director Sitisak Sumontha.
Known affectionately as "Ladyboys" in Thailand, transgender and transvestite people are regularly seen working in bars, restaurants, department stores and on various television shows.
