Transsexualism - Thailand

Thailand

Transgender researcher and activist Prempreeda Pramoj Na Ayutthaya claims that there is notable discrimination against transexual people in relation to education and job opportunities in Thailand. An article in Bangkok Post in 2013, claims that there is societal discrimination against transsexuals in Thailand. An editorial in Bangkok Post in 2013, said "Yet it is also true that we don't find transgenders as high-ranking officials, doctors, lawyers, scientists, or teachers in state-run schools and colleges. Nor as executives in the corporate world. In short, the doors of government agencies and large corporations are still closed to transgender women.
