Pdoggg Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I am looking for a polite word that means ladyboy and I doubt it's katoey. Maybe Tel or one of you guys know. Would หญิงสาวประเภทสอง be best or is there a better word or phrase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tel! This isn't for verbal communication though. What word would a Thai newspaper use for a ladyboy or transwoman? How about ผู้หญิงข้ามเพศ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would see that Transgender Woman used in a newspaper article over here perhaps or even they would say Transgender person which would be more politically correct . In Thailand I have seen Ladyboys referred to in Newspapers as persons of the third Sex or Gender 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is a more official form of คน ? Is บุคคล too formal and stiff sounding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is บุคคล too formal and stiff sounding? บุคคล is a Noun used as in a "person or individual etc" so would be good to use also try นรชาติ which can be used to describe, a Man, Woman or Person and would be put at the end of the Sentence. I will show you three examples of it in use. คน, มนุษย์, ผู้ชาย, ชาย, บุรุษ, นรชาติ คน, บุคคล, ผู้, ตนเอง, ราย, นรชาติ หญิง, สตรี, ลูกผู้หญิง, อิสตรี, มารศรี, นรชาติ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just noticed that you edited the post about ผู้หญิงข้ามเพศ Is this not a way to refer in writing to ladyboys? Would ผู้หญิงของเพศที่สาม be better?

I edited it as I thought we had already gone over it previously but the ผู้หญิงข้ามเพศ is good and far more appropriate than the ผู้หญิงของเพศที่สาม . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
