In 2010, Thai people discovered the term phu-ying
kham-phet, translated from transfemale or transsexual female
in English, on a TV show. This has generated public debates
and controversies in the social media and within Thai lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities. This article,
based on facts and data from the internet, social media, TV
shows, discusses the emergence of the phu-ying-kham-phet
category and different positions of LGBT agencies. The article
tries to understand the conception of phet (sex/gender), and to
show distinction and diversity of transgender identities, social
and political positions and stakes in the (trans)gender evolution
in contemporary Thailand.
