Katoey The Women We Are
a film by Stefan JungKATOEY meets three people in rural Thailand who are clearly and confidently women even though their bodies are male. Integrated to an impressive degree into society, these women have successfully overcome the difference between their physical and mental genders.
What true acceptance is and what it means to welcome differences as something that defines us as humans is what KATOEY is about.
KATOEY begegnet in einem ländlichen Thailand drei Menschen, die ohne Zurückhaltung ganz Frau sind, auch wenn ihr Körper der eines Mannes ist. Gesellschaftlich weitgehend integriert, gelingt es den drei älteren Transfrauen, den Unterschied zwischen ihrem körperlichen und psychischen Gender aufzulösen.
KATOEY erzählt davon, was es heisst, sich zu akzeptieren und das Andere in sich nicht als etwas Fremdes zu sehen, sondern es anzuerkennen als das, was uns zu Menschen macht.
