Mixed response to poll on transsexuals

The Nation's Internet poll on whether transsexuals should have the legal right to use a gender title of their choice drew mixed reactions from those visiting our website.

Published on August 18, 2007



Here are some of the comments posted:

"Transsexuals should not be allowed to use a title of their own choice.

"They should only use the title that they were born with.

"Also, transvestites have no business in this affair." - True Grit

"No. They should use the title Near-Miss." - Dr Frankenfurter

"It only matters to people who hate anyone different - let them do as they please." - Not bothered

"People should have the right to choose their life since they are human." - Somebody in Thailand

"They are as good as any other human beings and have every right to use the title of their choice." - Anil Parimoo

"It's crazy to allow transsexuals to use a title of their choice. I want to get married with a real girl who is a Miss. If this was allowed, I could have got incidentally married with a former male who changed his title to Miss. It's a horrible idea." - Yes Vote

"Same as basic rights of gays and lesbians for jobs, social recognition and education, rights for transsexual people should be respected as well. Otherwise, society would become a distorted one where people of such sexual inclinations are discriminated, which will make them revengeful, extreme and destructive." - Basic rights

"I do not think being a transsexual make you a woman. Being a woman is about much more than hormones, surgery and titles." - Alan Mercer

"To avoid confusion and to be fair to all parties, it should be Miss or Mr as their choice but with T for transsexual in parenthesis. For example, Ms(T) Albert Choice or Mr(T) Albert Choice." - Mr X

"They should not be allowed to use a title similar to naturally-born women or men as their physical facts are different. However, I agree that they should not be treated as men as they will be faced with lots of disadvantages." - Bangkokian
