Thailand - The Men Who Love Ladyboys

deathcowsays...

Weird call to make. I guess so! But definitely a coach class gay. Or, is it a coach class hetero. Did the guys become ladyboys because they were gay? or because they were secretly women? Off the cuff the one pictured seems more like a lady with a dude part, rather than a dude who looks like a lady.

TheFreaksays...

My understanding is that they're men, as opposed to transgendered males who feel female. And it goes back a long way in Thai culture and is more readily accepted.

*shrug*. Can't wait til nobody feels the need to figure it out. We're well past the point where prolific and abundant reproduction is a necessary part of our survival as a species...and....we have other problems.

They're happy with each other. Unless you want to drag some kind of puritanical/biblical morals into it, that's pretty much a wrap imho.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Unless we rewire our brains at a limbic level - I don't think we'll ever stop thinking and talking about this stuff - because it involves sexuality. That's what we're here for. We've evolved to find sex endlessly fascinating.>> ^bigbikeman:

You make a fine point. I only wish we could be curious AND remove moral judgement about it all (so much of the gender classification talk falls into this trap it seems). Me? I'm more fascinated by how this guy thinks he's found the perfect mate....she/he could be a dolphin for all I care. I don't think I'm completely alone in that more singular fascination...it just somehow seems to be perverted by questions that don't really have any relevance to the subjects of such matters...the anatomy of his chosen partner is largely moot...to him it seems and to me. I was expressing a desire for it to become so for everyone else.

possibly NSFW due to boobs @4:43. I say possibly cause they are technically man-boobs

And acceptance of ladyboys really depends on who you are talking to. When I was in Thailand, I remember an old man who was complaining about all the ladyboys he sees now, and how he hates it. He said they hardly existed 20 years ago, but are everywhere [in Thailand] now.

A man who dresses, acts and tries to shape his/her body to be like that of a woman, and the narrator even refers to them as her, iirc. Conversely you can find plenty of gay guys (perhaps even the majority) that still pretty much dress and act like guys, they don't think of themselves as women, just gay, I would consider that to be a distinctive difference.

Yeah, but he is dating a man, right?>> ^00Scud00:
One of the guys does make a good point when he states that if he was gay he would be dating men.


bareboards2says...

"I fell in love with the person."

I'll believe that when she gets old and fat and stops playing the overly fawning parody of a woman -- and he still "loves" her.

Same is true of anyone who says they "love" a stereotype, male or female.

No. The ladyboys in question here think of themselves as female and have always done so. The only thing male about them anymore is their genitals, which in the end isn't as important as some may think. It's how they feel about themselves and how they express themselves which defines their gender. A gay man is a man that is attracted to men, not (just) a penis.

It definitely is about perception but the man was a lady before the transformation. I *think* I can see this as not being gay. The sexual identity of a situation like this is much more heterosexual than that. Funny, they didn't ask her whether she thought she was gay?

I think whatever this is should be called adventural sexual.
