Actually this is exactly what ladyboys do, so it can't be the testosterone.

Maybe to much estrogen?

Oh, don't be so harsh on the Japanese guy - he was probably horny and couldn't sleep, so went for a stroll at 3am to look for 'action'

Police just happen to be exactly in that location at that exact time, surveillance those exact two ladyboys. What's the odds of that exactly happening?

Or maybe they are just men, yes u know there are serious ladyboys, the ones who go around robbing tourists are just men in drag.
