Thai Transgender Star

 Treechada Petcharat, better known as Poyd, is a famous transsexual Thai actress and model.

As a child, Treechada knew she was a girl, but in front of her parents, she had to pretend and live as a male. She felt disgusted by her "male" genitals, so at the age of 19, she underwent gender reassignment surgery and since then, she has said that she feels as if she has been reborn.
At age 19, Treechada won the Miss Tiffany's 2004 and Miss International Queen 2004.

Crunchyroll Forum

When I first encountered the Crunchyroll Forum site, of course I thought of a great candy bar.
Instead I found a discussion of Korean/Japanese stars who look like girls.

The woman to the right is actually Thai and is Nong Poy 
who we have pictured here before.
I have added another pic from the site which started a discussion about the true gender of the girl.

Thai and Transgender

Baramee Phanich is looking forward to Thursday. That's when he, along with other Thammasat University graduates, will be attending the annual royally sponsored graduation ceremony. For Baramee or Denjan, as he's known to family and friends, the ceremony has special meaning, as he, along with four fellow transgender students, have been granted permission to dress as women.
