Kathoey, Thailand main attraction... a.k.a Ladyboy

General description

The term "kathoey" is not an exact equivalent of the modern western transwoman — it suggests that the person is a type of male (ladyBOY), unlike the term sao praphet song, which suggests a female sex identity, or phet thee sam, which suggests a third gender. Australian scholar of sexual politics in Thailand Peter Jackson claims that the term "kathoey" was used in premodern times to refer to intersexuals, and that the usage changed in the middle of the 20th century to cover cross-dressing males. The term can refer to males who exhibit varying degrees of femininity — many kathoeys (from now on: ladyboys) dress as women and undergo feminising medical procedures such as hormone replacement therapy, breast implants, genital reassignment surgery, or Adam's apple reductions. Others may wear makeup and use feminine pronouns, but dress as men, and are closer to the western category of effeminate gay man than transgender. Regardless of their gender presentation, their sexual orientation is towards men who are not considered to be gay.

Ladyboys are often identified at a young age, and are considered to be "born that way". They may have access to hormones (available without prescription) and medical procedures during their teenage years.

The term "Ladyboy" may be considered pejorative, especially in the form "ladyboy-saloey". It has a meaning similar to the "fairy" or "queen"

This ladys grow as beautiful ladys with real women characteristics but with amazing cocks. All this because of the earlier access to hormones. Ladyboys are lovely and what's best... they LOVE ANAL.
