It never ceases to fascinte me, that the media insists on pointing out who is a 'transwoman' when it is irrelevant to the crime. It is purely defamatory. And yet, to use a word like 'transwoman' is pure political correctness.

Not irrelevant to this particular crime as the majority of pickpockets in Pattaya are lady boys aka transwomen. What would your preferred descriptor be? Woman or Man or ManWo?

On the way, in Soi Bua Khao, two transwomen boarded the bus and sat on either side of him.

It isn´t irrelevant! The ladyboys (they aren´t transwoman, there are no woman with dick, just man with boobs) are a "tribe", with a very high percentage of KNOWN for this kind of crimes offenders! 

In special groups of ladyboys on tour  are known for this.

Just read more of the articles here,  ladyboys are far more the common thief, as "ladies" or "boys"

I'm not sure thats true. Men commit higher levels of violent crime than women, because they have higher testosterone, makes them more confrontational. Though ladyboys have testes, and more serum testosterone than females, they have atypically low testosterone levels, for buological males. They must have lower violent and risk taking tendencies, than other biologicak males. But more than women.

Just kathuey, its sociologically more appropriate. The word doesn't have an English counterpart, being sonewhere between 'intersex' and 'eunuch', and it has been glossed as 'neuter' and the archaic 'not-male'.

It is not defined by gender identity, gender expression, nor sexual preferences or orientations. But it has been aporopriated, like Native American manwomen and Albanian sworn virgins, to create a false history for the Western transgender community. (Which is, itself, a very modern social construct.)

When you see a news piece saying 'transgender' to refer to people who aren't even transgender, but whose existence is 'culturally appropriated' by Western LGBT.

Well there's an irony, no? The piece is anti-trans in tone, but the use of the word trans, is done to appease tge sensibilities, of a handful of Western transgenders.

Ladyboy and shemale, although they are derogatory in the English language, are at least closer to semantics of the word 'kathuey'. Maybe its time to start using these existing words, more descriptively.

My father lived through the depression and I think that experience made him very careful about safeguarding money and possessions. 

He taught us things that are maybe too careful, but he would say "you can't be too careful".

Like:

Never leave money in plain sight in the house where it is visible from doors or windows.

Never leave packages or anything really (not only valuables) in the backseat or on the floor of your locked car, that's what the trunk is for. Why not only valuables? I found out, I once left a Carhartt jacket and a wool blanket on the floor of my car. Thieves broke my car window and stole the jacket and wool blanket, cost to fix the window was the real loss. 

So those obviously don't apply in this case but the illustrate the very careful mindset I was brought up with.

The one that might apply here is never carry more cash than you need immediately. I don't know why the guy had 60,000THB in cash on him but it's gone now.

I had a friend in LA who used to carry stacks of hundred dollar bills in her purse. I told her (what my dad told me) it's not just the money but the risk of violence from a thief that wants your money.

When I get cash at the ATM I weigh the decision, 5K, 10K, 20K baht? There is another ATM around every corner so why carry the cash?

I know this is ultra-careful attitude but if you get robbed you limit your loss by carrying only the cash that you need.

It’s not ultra careful, just wise.
