Just had to share this.....

A story hit the headlines here today about a school in Thailand that now has three bathroom choices for it's students....yep....you read correctly....three.
Male

Female
and Transvestite

The Thai's are well known for their tolerance of the country’s very visible transsexual and transvestite community and they are regularly seen on TV soap operas and throughout Bangkok, working at department stores, restaurants and in office jobs. So when a school in North East Thailand did a survey last term that showed more than 200 of the school's 2,600 students considered themselves transgender they decided to take action. They built a unisex bathroom which features a human figure split in half — part woman in red and part man in blue. Below it are the words "Transvestite Toilet."

The headmaster of the school told a local newspaper that most students didn't have a problem with transvestites but were uneasy when it came to sharing toilet facilities -
transvestites using female restrooms made some of the girls uncomfortable and using the men’s room often resulted in harassment so they decided to give their students a toilet where they could go in peace without fear of being watched or laughed at.

'Three transgender students praised the new restroom as they plucked their eyebrows and applied face powder in front of the mirror outside the stalls'

Only In Thailand....
