The Adventures Of Iron Pussy

Gender Outsiders: Transgendered & Others

Since the simple word ladyboy sends a little shiver through me I'm sure I'd be happier with the movies popular in Thailand than American money squanderers.

Beautiful Boxer is the true story of Nong Toom, a Thai kickboxer seeking a sex-change operation. The film has the tagline "He fights like a man - so he can become a woman," and has been selected for the Panorama Section of the Berlin Film Festival. ...

The film that sparked off the Thai box office revival was smash hit comedy Iron Ladies.

That was also a sporting true story - this time of a transvestite basketball team. The film won international recognition and became one of the biggest-grossing Thai films of all time.

Beautiful Boxer and The Adventures Of Iron Pussy are just two of a spate of films have followed. The Bangkok Post estimates that of the around fifty Thai films released this year, five or six feature prominent transvestite characters.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about The Adventures Of Iron Pussy. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
