泰国对LGBT人群的理解，算是独一无二
对很多人来说，泰国似是LGBT的避风港
可惜的是，现实往往令人失望。
泰国对LGBT的态度与性工作者相似
他们被接受的同时又受到鄙视
换个角度来理解
截至本期节目
在泰国，同性婚姻仍未合法化
社会在进步，但并没有大家想象那么快
而在社会进步的开端
当社会最为矛盾的时候
有这么一部小电影
它的发行不仅挑战泰国国内的态度
但改变了亚洲的许多地方的认知。
今天，我们来谈谈泰国经典喜剧
《排球铁娘子》
（又称《人妖打排球》）
一部改编自真实故事的电影

English: 
Few countries on Earth knows LGBT quite like Thailand
To many, Thailand appears to be an LGBT haven
Sadly, reality is even disappointing.
Perception of LGBT in Thailand is comparable to sex workers
They are paradoxically accepted and despised at the same time
To help you put things in perspective
As of the writing of this episode
Same-sex marriage has yet to be legalized in Thailand
It is changing, but not as fast as you'd think
And at the beginning of this change
When society was at its most conflicted
A little film came out
That not only challenges Thailand's attitude
But many other places in Asia as well.
Today, let's talk about the Thai comedy
"The Iron Ladies"
A film based on a true story

Chinese: 
講述一群LGBT人士組成排球隊
並在全國冠軍賽中向世界展示自己的價值
讓我們來看看泰國的LGBT景況
《異聲影院》第13期
泰國LGBT與《排球鐵娘子》
電影開場，我們的主角Mon
被排球隊所拒絕
他直截了當地問：
“我沒被選中因為我是同性戀，對吧？”
電影反映了泰國當時十分普遍的問題
職場歧視
有多普遍？
根據一項條茶
“37％的非LGBT調查受訪者表示
雇主可以對LGBT人群作出區別行為“
請仔細想想這數字
沮喪地
Mon和他的朋友Jung

English: 
In which a group of LGBT folks come together as a volleyball team
And show the world their worth in a national championship
Let's take a look at the lives of LGBT in Thailand.
The film begins with our protagonist, Mon
Being rejected from entering a volleyball team
He very bluntly asks:
"I wasn't chosen coz I'm gay, right?"
Right away, the film reflects the state of workplace discrimination
A very common problem in Thailand at the time
How common is it?
According to a study
"37.4% percent of non-LGBT survey respondents
find it ACCEPTABLE for employers to discriminate against LGBT individuals"
Let that sink in for a moment
With this frustration
Mon and his fabulous friend, Jung

Chinese: 
讲述一群LGBT人士组成排球队
并在全国冠军赛中向世界展示自己的价值
让我们来看看泰国的LGBT景况
《异声影院》第13期
泰国LGBT与《排球铁娘子》
电影开场，我们的主角Mon
被排球队所拒绝
他直截了当地问：
“我没被选中因为我是同性恋，对吧？”
电影反映了泰国当时十分普遍的问题
职场歧视
有多普遍？
根据一项条茶
“37％的非LGBT调查受访者表示
雇主可以对LGBT人群作出区别行为“
请仔细想想这数字
沮丧地
Mon和他的朋友Jung

Chinese: 
決定來一次最后拼搏
“南邦男子排球隊”
”火熱招人！“
幸運的是，那支隊伍的教練是位女同志
“喲！她是個女基佬！”
但是
“教練，教練，教練......”
“死八婆“
隊裡的球員都是荷爾蒙爆棚
恐同歧女的爛渣
雖然Mon和Jung通過了入隊測試
但隊員們卻很反感他們入隊
結果，直男們全部退隊抗議
留下一個人
Chai，隊裡經常被欺負的男生，留了下來
我們過會再探討一下他
然而球隊並沒有放棄
反而借勢翻身
像“復仇者聯盟“一樣，招募了其他LGBT朋友
其中包括一位娘炮士兵，Nong
一位變性舞娘，Pia

English: 
Decided to give it one last try at another team
"They are looking for people to try out for"
"The Lampang Men's Volleyball team"
Luckily, that team is lead by a lesbian coach
"Hey! She's a dyke!"
But the bad news is...
"Coach Bee, Coach Bee, Coach Bee..."
"Stupid Bitch
the existing team members are hypermasculine
Homophobic sexist douchebags.
Mon and Jung pass the entrance test with flying colors
But that only enrages the existing team members
Who all resign in protest
All but one.
Chai, the bully victim of the team, stayed
We'll come back to Chai later.
Instead of giving in
The team doubles down
They recruit their LGBT friends, Avengers style
There is Nong, an effeminate gay soldier
A transgender stage performer, Pia

Chinese: 
和一位看起來是直男的同志，Wit
看他們聚在一起，感覺就像在看《復仇者聯盟》
像是這樣正面表現LGBT文化的電影少之又少
這部電影不僅做到了，還引領了潮流
這部電影發行后，泰國媒體中的LGBT角色
大幅度增加
最重要的是，這支隊伍球技十分優秀
他們連續擊敗了三支球隊
成功進軍了全國冠軍賽
“他們擊敗了那麼多‘真男人’......”
“是不是說明他們有特別的才能？”
球隊算是集結了
該是訓練的時候
但問題出現了
先來看看隱性同志，Wit
他的家人並不知道他是同性戀

球队算是集结了
该是训练的时候
但问题出现了
先来看看隐性同志，Wit
他的家人并不知道他是同性恋

English: 
And a straight passing gay man, Wit
Watching all of them interact reminds me of the after party scene from Age of Ultron
It's rare to see LGBT identity being so overtly embraced in media
It's so infectious, it started a trend
After this film, LGBT characters in Thai media
Became much more common
Most importantly, the team is damn good at volleyball
They defeat 3 teams in a row
Winning their position in the national championship
"But the fact they beat all three teams of real men..."
"Surely that says something about their talent?"
With the team is assembled
It's time for training
But problems arise
Let's start with Wit, the straight-passing gay man
He's still in the closet, hiding from his strict family

English: 
And his fiancee
A woman fiancee
Coming from a wealthy business family
Wit is subject to an arranged marriage
A practice that is still sadly more common than most people think
In many ways, Asian family value are stacked against LGBT folks
The expectation of marriage and children
Coupled with the emphasis on filial piety and patriarchy
Social expectations of conformity
All make coming out of the closet a very big deal
Later in the film, Wit and his team play a game on live TV
Upon seeing Wit putting on make-ups
This is their reactions
"No... This can't be..."
The same problems also apply from the other side
Pia, the transgender girl, gets dumped by her cheating boyfriend
The reason?

Chinese: 
還有他的未婚妻
也被瞞著
生長在一個富商家庭
Wit的婚姻是由父母包辦的
包辦婚姻，在亞洲依然普遍
在眾多層面上，亞洲家庭價值觀都與LGBT相悖
婚姻，子女
孝道，父權制
社會，合群
這一切都讓出櫃變得非常困難
后來，Wit的球賽上了電視直播
他的父母看到了Wit在化妝
反應是這樣的
“不......這不可能......”
同樣的問題還有另外一個角度
變性女孩Pia被她的出軌男友甩了
原因？

Chinese: 
还有他的未婚妻
也被瞒着
生长在一个富商家庭
Wit的婚姻是由父母包办的
包办婚姻，在亚洲依然普遍
在众多层面上，亚洲家庭价值观都与LGBT相悖
婚姻，子女
孝道，父权制
社会，合群
这一切都让出柜变得非常困难
后来，Wit的球赛上了电视直播
他的父母看到了Wit在化妆
反应是这样的
“不......这不可能......”
同样的问题还有另外一个角度
变性女孩Pia被她的出轨男友甩了
原因？

Chinese: 
她男友說，他的家人強迫他跟一個“正常女孩”交往
在泰國，與變性人交往仍被視為
“不正常”
社會的有色眼鏡讓Pia成為邊緣人士
一個不爭的事實
“我們隻是社會的剩飯”
這事實，對LGBT人士的自我認知造成很大打擊
“但他還是跟他未婚妻一起好......”
“不要跟我這種假貨在一起”
在這裡，“假貨”這個詞很重要
法律上，Pia是個男人
這就是為什麼Pia可以進入男子排球隊的原因
泰國憲法要在電影發行十五年之后才承認第三性的存在
后來，Pia的前男友不斷回來跟她調情

English: 
According to the boyfriend, his family forces him to have a quote-unquote, normal girlfriend
In Thailand, being in a relationship with a transgender person is still looked down upon
As "not normal"
All the social expectations effectively render Pia as an outcast
A sentiment shared by others
"We're just the leftovers of society"
Which in turn, manifests as self-doubt
"But he's better off choosing his fiancee..."
"Than falling for something fake like me"
Here, the word "fake" has major significant
As legally, Pia would be legally recognized as man
It is why Pia can get into a man's volleyball team
Legal recognition of a third gender won't come some 15 years after this film
Later in the film, Pia's ex-boyfriend keeps coming back to flirt with her

Chinese: 
她男友说，他的家人强迫他跟一个“正常女孩”交往
在泰国，与变性人交往仍被视为
“不正常”
社会的有色眼镜让Pia成为边缘人士
一个不争的事实
“我们只是社会的剩饭”
这事实，对LGBT人士的自我认知造成很大打击
“但他还是跟他未婚妻一起好......”
“不要跟我这种假货在一起”
在这里，“假货”这个词很重要
法律上，Pia是个男人
这就是为什么Pia可以进入男子排球队的原因
泰国宪法要在电影发行十五年之后才承认第三性的存在
后来，Pia的前男友不断回来跟她调情

English: 
And there are even moments where he seems to genuinely love her
But the film never tells us if he's real or just being a playboy
And that's how Pia is feeling
Insecure, unsure
In a world where she is constantly the subject of sexual harassment and assault
Love is a luxury for her.
Finally, let's look at Chai, the only straight member of the team
Chai's view on his LGBT teammates mirrors that of the public in Thailand
"I've had enough with your lack of discipline"
"And all the crap that goes with it"
"Enough is enough"
He thinks he's being fair by judging them by their qualities
And fails to see his own prejudice
"But your drag queens are too much for me"
To chai, their effeminate identity IS their quality
"They do nothing but pu on make-up and preen themselves all day"
They don't act like "normal" sportsmans
So they must lack sportsmanship

Chinese: 
有时候看起来，他似乎真的爱她
但电影从未告诉我们他是真心，还是只是一个花花公子
因为Pia自己也不知道
她只有不安与犹豫
在这个充满性骚扰和侵犯的世界里
爱，对她而言是个奢侈品
最后，让我们看看Chai，球队中唯一的直男
Chai对他的LGBT队友的看法，与泰国民众类似
“我已经受够了你们这种缺乏纪律的态度”
“还有各种儿戏”
“都给我打住”
他认为自己很公平，不看外表，只重视内在
他并没有意识到自己的偏见
“我受够了你们这群异装皇后“
对Chai而言，他们的女性化身份就是他们的品质
“他们什么都不做，只是化妆，整天打扮自己”
他们不像“正常”的运动员
所以，Chai觉得他们没有体育精神

Chinese: 
有時候看起來，他似乎真的愛她
但電影從未告訴我們他是真心，還是隻是一個花花公子
因為Pia自己也不知道
她隻有不安與猶豫
在這個充滿性騷擾和侵犯的世界裡
愛，對她而言是個奢侈品
最后，讓我們看看Chai，球隊中唯一的直男
Chai對他的LGBT隊友的看法，與泰國民眾類似
“我已經受夠了你們這種缺乏紀律的態度”
“還有各種兒戲”
“都給我打住”
他認為自己很公平，不看外表，隻重視內在
他並沒有意識到自己的偏見
“我受夠了你們這群異裝皇后“
對Chai而言，他們的女性化身份就是他們的品質
“他們什麼都不做，隻是化妝，整天打扮自己”
他們不像“正常”的運動員
所以，Chai覺得他們沒有體育精神

English: 
Throughout the teams journey, however
Chai's bias against the team is repeatedly called into question
By his girlfriend
"Be Honest. Why is it that you dislike them..."
"Because they're not men, or because they're not women?"
By his teammate
"And how many gays have you known?"
"If that's the case, you've got no right to look down on us."
And by himself
"Can I ask you a question? What makes you the way you are?"
Effectively, the questions are posted for audience
Making us think
"Were we really being fair..."
These questions get through to Chai
And he realize, he is not the standard for what a sportsman should be
His teammates put on make-ups and act flamboyantly
Because that is who they are

Chinese: 
但是，在电影里
Chai对球队的偏见一再受到质疑
他的女朋友质疑他
“老实说，为什么你不喜欢他们......”
“因为他们不是男人，还是因为他们不是女人？”
他的队友质疑他
“你认识多少个同志？”
“如果是这样的话，你就不配瞧不起我们。”
自己质疑自己
“我想问个问题：你是为什么会变成现在这样的？”
实际上，这些问题都是向观众问的
让我们自省
“我们真的有公平对待他们吗？”
最后，这些问题打醒了Chai
他明白，他不是运动员的标准
他的队友们会化妆，会打闹
因为他们就是那样的人

Chinese: 
但是，在電影裡
Chai對球隊的偏見一再受到質疑
他的女朋友質疑他
“老實說，為什麼你不喜歡他們......”
“因為他們不是男人，還是因為他們不是女人？”
他的隊友質疑他
“你認識多少個同志？”
“如果是這樣的話，你就不配瞧不起我們。”
自己質疑自己
“我想問個問題：你是為什麼會變成現在這樣的？”
實際上，這些問題都是向觀眾問的
讓我們自省
“我們真的有公平對待他們嗎？”
最后，這些問題打醒了Chai
他明白，他不是運動員的標准
他的隊友們會化妝，會打鬧
因為他們就是那樣的人

Chinese: 
为什么这就不算正常了呢？
在即将输掉比赛之际
Chai让他的队员们都去化妆
明白到，让他们放飞自我才能无忧无虑打球
看看他们有多开心
当他们可以表现自己
当他们不需要担心社会对他们的质疑
他们可以很棒
他们可以证明自己
他们赢了吗？
看电影你就知道啦
这部电影刚上映的时候
在香港引起了轰动
直到今天，大多数LGBT电影都只关注男同性恋
包括亚洲在哪
一部关于变性人的电影？
噱头算是十分大胆

Chinese: 
為什麼這就不算正常了呢？
在即將輸掉比賽之際
Chai讓他的隊員們都去化妝
明白到，讓他們放飛自我才能無憂無慮打球
看看他們有多開心
當他們可以表現自己
當他們不需要擔心社會對他們的質疑
他們可以很棒
他們可以証明自己
他們贏了嗎？
看電影你就知道啦
這部電影剛上映的時候
在香港引起了轟動
直到今天，大多數LGBT電影都隻關注男同性戀
包括亞洲在哪
一部關於變性人的電影？
噱頭算是十分大膽

English: 
Why can't that be normal, too?
As they are about to lose their game
Chai tells the team to put on makeup
Realizing that being themselves should help
them play
Look at how happy they are
When given the chance to be themselves
When they don't have to deal with all the extra baggage society throws at them
They can be excellent
They can prove themselves
Did they win?
I'll let you find out yourself
When this film first came out
It stirred up quite a fanfare in Hong Kong
Even till this day, most LGBT films focuses solely on gay men
In and outside of Asia
A film featuring trans?
It's very risque to say the least

Chinese: 
然而，我不記得這部電影造成任何爭議
今天，我大概知道了原因
在這一幕裡，五名LGBT團隊成員為他們的教練慶生
表演了一場女王秀
看不到那種吵鬧的個性
我看到的，隻是一群人在玩鬧
“我們雖然沒有認識很久，但你就像我們的母親一樣”
無論外觀如何
無論他們怎樣表達自己
內在都是同樣的人性
我們又何苦議論紛紛
聽聽歌就好
“敞開心扉，好好看看我“
“我們生來如此，我們別無選擇“
“接受我的全部”

English: 
Yet, I don't remember any controversy you'd expect coming from this film
And I think I know why...
In this scene, the 5 LGBT team members put on a drag queen show for their lesbian coach
To celebrate her birthday
Instead of the obnoxiously hyperactive personality
They are just being people, having fun
"We haven't known you for long, but you're like a mother to us"
Regardless of their exterior appearance
And the way they express themselves
Underneath, there is the same humanity
So, why the judgement?
I'll leave you with their song.
"Open your heart and
 take a good look at me"
"We were born like this,
 we had no choice"
"Accept me for what I am"

Chinese: 
然而，我不记得这部电影造成任何争议
今天，我大概知道了原因
在这一幕里，五名LGBT团队成员为他们的教练庆生
表演了一场女王秀
看不到那种吵闹的个性
我看到的，只是一群人在玩闹
“我们虽然没有认识很久，但你就像我们的母亲一样”
无论外观如何
无论他们怎样表达自己
内在都是同样的人性
我们又何苦议论纷纷
听听歌就好
“敞开心扉，好好看看我“
“我们生来如此，我们别无选择“
“接受我的全部”

Chinese: 
“我只需要你接受我”
“敞开心扉，好好看看我“
“我们生来如此，我们别无选择“
“我只需要你接受我”

English: 
"All ask for is acceptance"
"Open your heart and
 take a good look at me"
"We were born like this,
 we had no choice"
"Accept me for what I am"

Chinese: 
“我隻需要你接受我”
“敞開心扉，好好看看我“
“我們生來如此，我們別無選擇“
“我隻需要你接受我”
