By From Yonhap:
A group of transgendered people will file a suit in April to seek the legal right to change their genders in their family registries, a civic group said Thursday.
The group said it will hold a briefing Saturday for transgendered people living in South Korea, estimated at 30,000, to help them join the collective action.
If they succeed will it be called the Harisu Law?Â
Anyway, the only transgendered Koreans I have personally ever seen in Korea were in Dongducheon. They would flock to the clubs up there to hit on drunk GIs. I was at the infamous Rendezvous Club one time and saw this soldier hanging all over what was obviously a transexual but he was too drunk to tell the difference. I sat by him and then pulled him a side to explain to him his folly. He got pissed and wanted to throw down because he thought I was trying to steal his chick. Since he was so enamored with his new girlfriend, I left him to his folly. I never saw that soldier show his face ever again in that club.Â
It is the sad reality. No mistake...

I think some of these TransGenders are Korean American who decided to "hide" within Korea. They think they would not stand out like in the Korea Town in CONUS. Therefore many of these Transgender and Homosexual Korean American go straight to Castro Street in SF or to Seoul to blend in. (Majority of their family members are very conservative and refused to acknowledge their presence.)

In Taegu we used to play a joke on the new Soldiers and send them to the local TV bar and watch them flirt with the TVs
This was too much fun

The TVs must be of high quality in Taegu because the ones I saw in Dongducheon were obviously TVs and you had to be one drunk idiot to flirt with them.
You are right though, it is funny to watch them flirt but I always did my best to warn GIs if they looked like they were looking to do more than flirt.

Freakin' Americans.
You are a shinning example why
America shouldn't be exporting
any sort of democratic system.
Such hate-filled comments.
You people have no actual idea
of what you speak!

What the heck are you talking about? What hate filled comments? What does a exporting a democratic system have to do with anything? Are you upset because you were you one of the transexuals at the Rendezous Club I tried to warn soldiers away from?
