What Is A Ladyboy?

[BambinA]

well im reallly reallly interested in moving to thailand and turn into a buddhist.

first at all , tuck your d-ick well . ( i saw your "myspace" .. you need to correct it,methinks

Thought I'd add my ten baht's worth as I'm also intrigued by these beautiful creatures...

Hot blooded male, 29, spent all my life chasing western females of exceptional appearance (and a success rate I'm very proud of by the way given my looks) and not once even considered being gay/if I was gay etc

2nd night of my first trip to Patts met a couple of absolutely stunning ladyboys, who after a few beers and an hour or 2 of flirting/chatting we became very good friends (nothing happened, no monies changed hands etc before you all shout)

Turned out I'd made 2 really good friends, saw them again on my return 3 months later, hugs n kisses missed me long time blah blah but had a wicked time with them and cant wait to see em again

In a way I love it, its like going out for a drink with the 'lads', you can laugh and joke and oggle women with them, yet its like having your girlfriend with you in that you've got a beauty on your arm who oozes femininity and sexiness...

The prudes at work rib me for it non stop, couldnt give a toss to be honest.

Its not a fella dressed as a girl, its a lady with a little extra

Love em to bits.. well the nice ones anyway

Ladyboy is lady wanna be. Ladyboys in Thailand the most beautiful (so guy like you can trap)

Good God!

After my first trip to Thailand, I am in a state of horrific confusion.

Prior to my visit, I was aware of transvestites, transsexuals, or whatever they are, in the USA and in other Western countries.

Mostly men who turned themselves into ugly women of sorts.

However, while in Thailand, I saw quite another story entirely:

Beautiful MEN living as women!

I have been doing a lot of internet "research" and outside of brainiac sites like I see very little out there regarding the ORIGINS of this whole Thai ladyboy phenomena.

Fellow board members:

When did this Thai ladyboy gig start?

Is it milleniums-old or something current and fashionista?

Are these people gay?

Good grief, am I gay????

I have NOT touched any of these people.

I do not intend to do so.

However, they are so good-looking they terrify me.

Perhaps no more trips to Thailand for ME???

How did this last here ... it is spam pushing a porn site.

While Thailand is absolutely not nirvana for LBs, and there is still discrimination in jobs and even some bars, it is so far ahead of the rest of the world in transgender acceptance, the comparison is not even remotely close.

As this topic has been revived, even though the OP is long gone I think I'll respond to his inquiries about his own sexuality. A quote from http://www.reneereyes.com/Webdocs/mtintro.html, NOT a porn site but rather an informative resource about transgender issues, is as follows: "Guess which men are never sexually attracted to tranz-women? You guessed it: gay males."

apparently you were interested enough to look for the site ... but not interested enough to read it ... the author of the site you refferred people to actually said "i don't think so"

[LindsayBKK]

Only an American could be brave enough to confess not knowing the term Ladyboy.

He must have just discovered the Internet or maybe a closet Gay that lives at home with Mummy.

I found ladyboys the first time I visted gaydotcom long time ago.

Becareful when you say things like "I have not touched any of these people"

My advice "Don't even think about it" cause they will cost you an arm and a leg, and thats just in make-up.

This is Thailand, read up mate.

[jdinasia]

do we as the gay forum members (or the rest of the TV community) really want to know about the explicit sexploits of people?

I think the mod must have already removed the offending post you're referring to. Thanks, Mod, for jetissoning the ocassional flotsam that can drift up onto the shores of this or any other forum.

[PeaceBlondie]

I did remove the URL's that jdinasia referred to in his earlier post.

jd, I hope that's what you wanted done.

[endure]

'Twas I. Posts like that don't belong here.

Welcome to Thailand my friend.

[amatzner]

A book has just come out that may shed some light on ladyboys - It is called "Male Bodies, Women's Souls: Personal Narratives of Thailand's Transgendered Youth," authored by myself (Andrew Matzner) and LeeRay Costa. If anyone is interested in learning more about what it means to be transgendered in Thailand, this book is for you!

The problem with a lot of them is that they ain't no lady, boy!

[qwertz]

the difference between a man and a woman has got a lot to do with the genitalia

Or lack thereof:

I wish I lived in such a black and white world.

No, really.

Shut up, I mean it.

Oh ... no I don't.

I've never met a man or a woman that didn't have genitals. They might be different but they're all genitals.
