This Documentary Explores Thailand’s Queer Tomboy Culture
Thailand’s LGBT spectrum contains a group commonly referred to as “Tomboys” or “Toms,” an identity that is unique to Thailand’s queer community.
According to Dee Lesla, founder of a popular Tomdating site, there are several traits that one must embody in order to be a “true Tom.”
“You have to have a flat chest. Secondly, you have to be able to protect your girl.”
“Thirdly, you have to act like a ‘sugar daddy’ and pay for everything for your girl.”
The film explores several other areas of queer culture in Thailand, as well as the inequalities that persist in the country.
As noted in the film, “Thai society is open for people to be anything they want, as long as that doesn’t affect others.”
