"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard United Airlines Flight 930, nonstop service to London Heathrow. My name is Sarah Radcliffe, and I will be your purser on today's flight. Please pay attention to the safety video highlighting the safety features of this Boeing 777. Thank you for choosing the LESBIAN-friendly skies today."

From Thailand...
A secondary school in northeastern Bangkok has put in a third toilet for transgender students.
"Boys" who would rather be girls are very happy having their own space to put on makeup and such.
But as an activist says in the article, down the road they would rather be full women, and use women's restrooms.
Transpeople are very visible in Thailand, but are limited to entertainment, prostitution, and other select industries, rarely making it into the professional world. They don't even have legal status, in fact! I'm fed up with the white liberals considering the rampant homophobia and heteronormativity of Thailand and other Asian societies to be "trans-friendly."
