BANGKOK - Thailand's parliament lost its first transgender MP Wednesday after the constitutional court revoked her seat in what critics called a political move against supporters of the kingdom's pro-democracy movement.

Dozens of its MPs, including Tanwarin, joined another party - the Move Forward Party - but a judge ruled Wednesday that, as a"stockholder of a media company", she had breached electoral law and must leave her parliamentary seat. "They are trying to use a legal mechanism against whoever they assume supports the movement," said political scientist Titipol Phakdeewanich.
