@naobeausca@blorbo.social really glad you enjoyed the zine and it piqued your interest in some of the stuff discussed :D
in regards to dees and toms:
Naomi Wu is one of the first times I heard the term, scroll down to the pinned comment in this video and she explains some of it from her POV

She also speaks about it in this video:

After that....
you can start with the wikipedia page's citations on gender in thailand:
