Dee: A lesbian or bisexual woman who follows outward gender norms. Historically, the distinction of ''dee'' was a relationship with ''tom'', a better-defined category. However, the ''dee'' identity is becoming more solidified, so that some women claim to have been "born to be dees". | Dee (ดี้): A lesbian or bisexual woman who follows outward gender norms. Historically, the distinction of ''dee'' was a relationship with ''tom'', a better-defined category. However, the ''dee'' identity is becoming more solidified, so that some women claim to have been "born to be dees". "Dee" is derived from the English word "lady".<ref>Bacchini, Simone C.

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.
