กะเทย (''kathoey''): Term for a specific type of transgender person, connoting that the person self-identifies as a type of male but may undergo physical feminization, use female pronouns, and/or dress in female clothing. Thais may see ''kathoey'' as a third gender, or a type of male or female. The term "ladyboy" is used in English conversation and has become popular in South Asia. "''Kathoey''" may be used as a pejorative. Compare with สาวประเภทสอง (''sao praphet song'') and เพศที่สาม (''phet thi sam''). The term ''phu-ying praphet thi sorng'', or "woman of the second kind", can also refer to ''kathoey''. | กะเทย (''[[kathoey]]''): Term for a specific type of transgender person, connoting that the person self-identifies as a type of male but may undergo physical feminization, use female pronouns, and/or dress in female clothing.
