Thai Transgenders Hit IKEA Ad

Posted 30 January 2013 6:36 GMT

IKEA ad offensive to transgenders?

The Thai Transgender Alliance has criticized a video ad by IKEA for being ‘negative and stereotypical’. The group added that the ad perpetuates ‘misunderstanding transgenderism as human sexuality for deceitful and deviant lifestyle.’ The ad was shown in Bangkok's sky train system.
