Idioms
"กะเทย"
Informal→ tomboy, effeminate man (derogatory)
Originally referred to a person who is considered to be between male and female, or someone who exhibits characteristics of the opposite gender. In modern usage, it is often used to describe an effeminate man or a tomboy, and can be considered derogatory.
Examples:
"คนในสมัยก่อนอาจจะเรียกว่ากะเทย แต่ปัจจุบันเราใช้คำว่า LGBT หรือเพศหลากหลาย"
→ People in the past might have called them 'kathoei', but nowadays we use the term LGBT or gender diversity.
