Original title: "กะเทยอีสาน" Kathey xīs̄ān
(Journal of Transgender Isaan) by Panat Srinuan (เต้ย – ปณต ศรีนวล).
We often hear the myth that Thailand is a paradise for LGBTQ people. Past incidents of sexual violence and testimonials from the community indicate that the above sentence is a huge

The founder and editor of GendersMatter, as well as the author of this book, wrote this book to expose transgender lives in places where economic mobility is low. This book tells about the lives of transgender women in Sisaket province, one of the poorest provinces in Thailand.
