Flying Home
thoughts in the sky heading to Christmas
Flying ...
I'm flying away
Away from the tears, the fights
The dead naming
The misgendering
'Home' no longer a place for Christmas
For laughter and cheer
So I fly, I fly away, but also fly towards
Towards something ...
To warmth, to acceptance & joy
In a way I fly to what is missing
Flying to family
Accepting and unconditional love
I'm flying home

I wrote this while on a flight to a very last minute Christmas away, which has proved to be just what my soul needed in so many ways ... 🩷

Why are there so many ladyboys in thailand
Thailand's vibrant culture is renowned worldwide for its stunning beaches, flavorful cuisine, and welcoming spirit. Among its most visible cultural phenomena especially to international visitors is the prominent presence of transgender women and individuals locally and colloquially known as "ladyboys" (or kathoey in Thai). This visibility often leads to the question: why does Thailand have such a significant transgender population? The answer lies in a unique intersection of culture, religion, history, and modern society.
