Why are there so many transvestites in Thailand?

The shemale is a major feature of Thailand. The polite address in Thai is "Miss Bisexuality", and the common address is "Transgender". Many institutions have conducted different research and analysis on why Thailand has the largest number of shemale. So far, there is no concrete and credible conclusion. According to the author's experience and observation of living in Thailand for more than ten years, the reason why Thai shemale is very famous in the world is mainly concentrated in Thailand's religion, geography, education and so on.

First of all, in terms of religion, Thailand is a country that pursues Hinayana Buddhism, and similar countries include neighboring Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar. The biggest difference between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism lies in the principle of self-awareness and absolute self-spiritual independence. Different from Mahayana Buddhism's concept of purdah and self-indulgence, absolute respect between people is the biggest feature of Thais. You can see that people in Thailand worship each other like Buddha, instead of hugging and shaking hands like other countries, because they think it is impolite to touch others' bodies without their permission, which is also a manifestation of Thai people's respect for themselves and others. For social phenomena, their principle is to fully understand and respect. Before they express their views on a matter, they always ask themselves, "What right do I have to comment on this matter?" So as long as it is not a blatant illegal act, Thais usually don't take the initiative to intervene and accuse. Therefore, Thais always take a tolerant attitude towards other people's sexual orientation and gender mistakes, thinking that these are other people's rights, and do not interfere, comment or criticize according to their own worldview. Therefore, shemale is basically not discriminated against by society in Thailand.

The other is geographical reasons. Thailand is located in Southeast Asia, with a hot climate and people's living habits, so it has developed a slow-paced lifestyle. In addition, Thailand is in the position of China Kun in terms of geomantic omen and orientation, and it is often said that Yin is more important than Yang. The whole country is a treasure land, surrounded by mountains and seas, which is also the main reason for Thailand's rich products and social peace. There has been no foreign invasion for more than 270 years. If interested readers can look at the map of Thailand, Thailand borders the Gulf of Thailand in the south, the mountains in the middle and north, and Bangkok is in the middle of the sea. If Thailand is compared to a woman and the areas extending to the south on both sides are compared to her legs, Bangkok is in the so-called female genital position, which is also a very shady position in the land of Yin and Kun. So the whole Bangkok is full of femininity, which makes Thai women gentle and hardworking, while men become gentle and polite, friendly and polite. At the same time, in such a very dark place, it is easy to see many extremely contradictory things, among which men will turn to people with gender barriers and heavy surnames. According to the summary and statistics of medical institutions in Thailand, those transsexuals or transvestites are rarely out of psychological nature, but mostly in gene pitch and hormones, or many transvestites are congenital. Because many of them began to show femininity when they were 12- 15 years old, and their physical structure was different from that of normal men, with obvious changes in their bones, skin and voice, and they also began to show femininity psychologically during this period.

Due to the factors of educational methods, Thailand is a country that pays more attention to traditional morality and etiquette. Most children have received all kinds of etiquette and religious knowledge since primary school. Many schools also offer meditation classes, and most primary schools have built temples in or near them. Because the temple was responsible for the education of primary school students a hundred years ago, it has a close relationship with religion since primary school, and it has also inherited traditional etiquette in the family. It is a tradition here to respect the old and love the young. When two adults talk face to face, if there is a small lid that needs to pass, they must also pass with their heads down and half squatting. Even children have to pee outside, so they can have a rest under the tree casually, and then apologize to the shell tree for a week. A man who speaks loudly and behaves rudely will be considered an uneducated person. Although the economic development of Thailand is not very high, the personal education and quality of life of Thai people are far higher than those of other countries.

At present, there is no accurate figure for the number of transvestites in Thailand, but according to the current population of 64 million in Thailand and the fact that the proportion of transvestites among men is generally recognized as 2%, the number of transvestites should be around 640,000. The number of transvestites in the 20-40 age group should be around 400,000. Most of them are divided into five occupations. First, people with better social status and income, such as movie stars, singers, beauty makeup artists, fashion designers, government civil servants, and even university teachers and flight attendants, are all freelancers, such as beauty salon owners, freelance actors and models. The third is people who are engaged in the performance industry in tourist attractions, and the fourth is middle school students and college students at school. Many key famous universities often mix with transvestites and get the first place in the annual beauty contest. Many transvestites with good innate qualifications only know that they are transvestites, but students who have studied for four years hardly know that. The fifth is to engage in the porn industry. All transvestites in Thailand are already in these five industries, which means that there are 80 thousand transvestites in each of these five industries.

Expose the student life of Thai shemale.

Although shemale can't really be accepted by mainstream Thai society, fortunately, it has not been greatly discriminated against. There are shemale students in the school and shemale salespeople in the shopping mall. According to incomplete statistics, by the 1990s, the number of Thai shemale had reached more than 20,000.

Most transvestites choose this road to make money, and some people are born with gender dislocation. But after embarking on this road, most people find that "they" not only have to go through physical and psychological hardships, but also make money to make a living is not as simple as expected. According to Thai law, shemale is still male, but in daily life, shemale is defined as female. The shemale will choose according to what she wears on the day she goes to the public bathroom. If she dresses up as a woman, she will naturally go to the ladies' room.

However, it is not easy for a shemale to gain a foothold in society. Only a few people can really become the singing and dancing stars of Tiffany Song and Dance Troupe, become famous at one fell swoop and make a lot of money. Most people make money for their lives and prepare for their old age (shemale usually lives in their 40 s). The small actors in the troupe earn very little. In a city like Bangkok, it is difficult to survive with a monthly salary of four or five thousand baht (40 baht 1 USD).

Competition is fierce and there is no love.

A was born in a middle-class family in Thailand. "She" became a shemale not to make money, but because she liked being a girl since she was a child. It was hard for my father to accept at first, but in the end, the stubborn "she" persuaded my father. After long-term medication and behavioral exercise, A has become a graceful "beauty" when she becomes a student in an art university. After graduating from college, A joined the shemale acting troupe, and it was difficult for her meager income to make ends meet. At first, A despised other members for fooling around with various clients after the performance, but gradually, A realized the hardships of "sisters". "They" not only have no financial resources, but also earn a lot of money by selling their bodies to support poor families. A began to feel ashamed that he could not stand on his own feet in his twenties. In the end, A embarked on the common road of almost all shemale-pornographic service. A's beauty attracted a Swedish journalist, who gradually developed from a romantic scene into a fixed "male and female" friend, and A's family also accepted this western "son-in-law". With the support and funding of parents and boyfriends, A had sex-change surgery. But because A didn't want to go to Sweden with her boyfriend, she finally broke up.

A, who is back on the stage again, is diligent. Her talent, education and her own efforts have made her position in the performance company gradually rise. But the competition between shemale actors is cruel and fierce, all for personal survival. Although there is friendship and mutual assistance between members, it is often a stab in the back to fight to the death. The day before the performance, A just put on her performance shoes and felt a stabbing pain at her feet. It turns out that someone put broken glass in his shoes. This is the life of a shemale actor.

The shemale is a highlight of Thailand's tourism industry, and the shemale performance is a must-see program for many tourists. Thailand's shemale, in the psychedelic night, deducts "their" bitter life day after day.

Chiang Mai Technical School in Thailand has 15 "shemale" students. Because I am always left out by boys and girls, I hope to have my own toilet. Not long ago, their dream finally came true.

This toilet is called "Pink Lotus Toilet" and is only used by this 15 "shemale" student. There are four squats in it, and there is no urinal. There are signs for men and women on the toilet door. The school is located 580 kilometers north of Bangkok. Posaban, the principal of the school, said: "These students will use the women's toilet in the morning, but the female students will be unhappy and they will play practical jokes on them." Shemale students must wear men's clothes at school, but they can keep women's hair. If they go into the men's room, they will get into more trouble. Posaben said: "Gay men learn to laugh at and chase them, and finally they can only cry. "So, Posa specially designed a toilet for them so that other students can use their own toilets.

In fact, as early as last autumn, the "shemale" toilet was built, which only attracted the attention of the local media this week. Thai society generally accepted the "shemale". Posaban said: "We don't support them to become' shemale'. We just try our best to solve the problem of an unhappy group in school. They will no longer be teased in their own toilets and will be happier than before. "
