One question then. Are male aircrews stigmatized? Do they work on most, if not all major airlines of the world? Aren't a higher percentage of them gay than in other types of industries (the only other industries that has as high an incidence would probably be hair dressers and possibly modeling? Does it stop them from giving good service? Granted they don't wear name tags, but most think they are gay even if they are not. Still doesn't stop them from doing their jobs effectively does it? And regardless of what a lot of people claim, a lot are homophobes even in today's enlightened atmosphere. What's the difference of someone "assuming" you are and you wearing at name tag that confirms it. To me, as long as my drink is delivered on time and fresh and strong, it's cool.

So for the passengers as well and the reason is pretty obvious. If they wanted to have it on a strict professional ground wearing a golden badge would not be necessary. IMHO.The transsexual flight attendants will wear special gold-coloured "third sex" name badges to help passengers and immigration staff to easily identify the gender they are faced with.

You sir are quite correct!QRM wrote:You dont want to be on the wrong end of a pissed off tranny, they got the balls to take bitchiness to a whole new level.
I recall many moons ago in Phuket seeing two katoys having a full on bitch fight. When they flailed on the ground and their dresses rode up it was difficult not to notice their [cough] 'meat and two veg' pulled backwards and up via rubber bands or similar.
20 years on I still get the occasional flashback.

Agreed. I think the airline owner reckons he is the next Tony Fernandes, so is up for cunning PR stunts.
I'd have no problem with katoi staff, but I don't understand the need to make them wear '3rd gender' name badges. Would any jewish staff have to wear yellow star shaped ones I wonder?
I'm rather intrigued why there are so many trannies in SE Asia and they are simply accepted as a third gender, despite on the flip side homosexuality being illegal in much/all of the region.
The sad thing is that most of them cannot afford to 'go the whole way', and so are left in a life of half-way limbo. Mind you it is ditto with local homosexuals, they can't come out to their families and so can never set up home with a partner. As a result they seem consigned to a rather rudderless and unfulfilled life living a lie...

Yeah now I'm a bit confused as well.
I suppose my point was, as others suggested earlier, if you're trying to be inclusive why go out of your way to unnecessarily point out differences.
The airlines quoted example of 'gold badges' rather drew the obvious parallel with other people who have been obliged to wear them.
