I want to know about the "shemale" in Thailand. What kind of person is this ...

Thai shemale is a mysterious group. "They" are charming and can sing and dance well. Thailand is a small country with a population of only 60 million. However, 7 million overseas tourists come here every year, and this income is as high as 7 billion US dollars every year, which has become the economic pillar of Thailand. Thailand's tourism industry is rich in local characteristics, the most striking of which is the famous "shemale" performance.

The Thai shemale performance began on 1975. At first, only four or five men were born men, but both physical and mental character and clothing were feminine. They make guest appearances in bars, mainly for foreign tourists.

At that time, it was regarded as a "sideline" by the Thai people and dismissed it. With the development of tourism, the first "shemale song and dance troupe" came into being. The troupe selected a group of men with beautiful appearance and slim figure, and after special training, they became "beautiful women" who could captivate the audience. It is said that these actors are of different levels, some are made-up and some are completely transsexual.

Performances include solo, chorus, solo, group dance and clown performance. The shemale's performance is gentle and graceful, her singing is generally rough and her performance level is high. Famous in Thailand and abroad, every performance is packed.

Older transvestites are developing into clowns, and the audience in Doby must rely on God to give them a symmetrical and thin skeleton. Otherwise, no matter how good-looking she is, she can't be the best actress. She can only go on or develop into a clown. The performances of the shemale show, including national dances and representative songs from various countries, not only attracted tourists, but also attracted local people. In addition to enjoying the luxurious song and dance performances, you can also see ordinary dancers performing comedies.

Transvestites earn a lot of money and live a luxurious and monotonous life. Because of the high income, the special group of "transvestite" has gradually emerged.

By the 1990s, there were 20,000 "shemale" in Thailand, all aged between 14-50, mainly concentrated in the shemale song and dance troupes, bars and nightclubs in Pattaya. After puberty, they can no longer perform, and their lives will be quite lonely and desolate.

A probe into Thai shemale

Publisher: 207 1 1 Wu Ruxin

First, the research motivation:

Under the media reports, we often hear reports of shemale, and many female friends think that they are not as good as shemale. Among the shemale groups, the most famous is the Thai shemale. Why is there a shemale in Thailand? How do they live in society? And so on, problems follow, so I want to know more about Thai shemale.

Second, why is there a Thai shemale?

1. There are different opinions about the appearance of Thai shemale. One of them evolved from the "eunuch" in India. The history of Indian eunuchs can be traced back to the Mughal Islamic State formed in northern India at the beginning of16th century. During the long years of conquest, some Muslim leaders in the army specially recruited a number of "hermaphrodites" (congenital hermaphrodites) to serve their wives who stayed at home. The purpose of doing this is naturally to prevent "backyard emotional changes." Because of their high salaries, these hermaphrodites are generally loyal to their masters, and because of their own physical defects, they can't pose threats and harm to the harem in the boudoir, which won the trust of the people. After the establishment of the Mughal Empire, a large number of bisexual people were favored and rewarded by their owners. Since then, Indian rulers and other dignitaries have gradually developed the custom of hiring bisexual people to serve their wives, and gradually extended to the whole of India. As a result, some men who have a hard life have joined the ranks of hermaphrodites in various ways. Over the years, such eunuchs have replaced hermaphrodites, similar to eunuchs in China. With the increase in the number of eunuchs, some eunuchs turned to singing and dancing for a living. Because of their high mobility, these people gradually spread to Thailand and flourished.

2. Another way of saying this is to explain this phenomenon from the history of Thailand itself. Thailand is a country with a long history of sexual culture, and the attitude of Thai women towards sexual life is quite different from that of China. Thailand is a typical country that laughs at poverty rather than prostitution, so women engaged in pornographic services are generally not criticized, especially in Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Bangkok and other cities. The proliferation of pornography, the sharp increase of homosexuality, and the consequences caused by homosexuality have made some men gradually develop into femininity. This special product, the shemale, was born. In Thailand, you can meet a shemale almost anywhere, but you just can't tell the difference. Some transvestites can be distinguished from her Adam's apple, pores and voice, but some transvestites can't see anything special at all, especially those who have undergone sex-change surgery or castration. In Thailand, shemale is legally defined as male. It's not male or female, which just fits the title of "shemale".

Thai shemale is mainly concentrated in Bangkok and Pattaya, especially Pattaya. Pattaya is a famous tourist destination in Thailand. It is famous for its beautiful natural scenery and unpolluted coastline. It is surrounded by mountains and seas, and the climate is pleasant all the year round. There are two famous shemale song and dance troupes in the city, and you can see the highest level of shemale art performances.

3. It turns out that the origin of Thai shemale is because during World War II, American soldiers stationed in Thailand called prostitutes, and parents without girls in Thailand made their children transsexual in order to earn money from American troops. Because transsexuals can't get pregnant, the US military prefers it. However, with the changes of the times, transgender people in Thailand have changed from parents' coercion to personal free will!

Strangely, most active transvestites are around the age of 20, which is obviously not a relic of the Vietnam War. Why are so many people willing to be transsexuals? A very untenable explanation is that Thailand's entertainment industry is very developed, and it is easy for girls to find jobs in entertainment places, so Thais are willing to have girls. If a family "unfortunately" gives birth to a boy after giving birth to several girls, and the boy has nothing to do, he will live and work with his sisters. Over time, he will imitate his sister's dress, gradually become feminine, and finally become a transgender.

Actually, shemale is not a "specialty" in Thailand. The shemale originated in Singapore. When you see the word "shemale", you will think of Singapore. At that time, Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew thought it was humiliating. Later, the Singapore government issued an "expulsion order" to force it to be banned and deported. Most of the transvestites are boys of a few years old. They lost their parents or their family income was not high. They were sold to survive and had sex-change surgery. After strict training and various hormones, he became a shemale.

Second, how was the Thai shemale trained?

In Thailand, transvestites generally come from poor families with difficulties in life. It can be said that few rich children are willing to be transvestites. In Thailand, there are schools that specialize in cultivating shemale. It is usually cultivated when children are two or three years old. The training methods are based on feminization, women's clothing, dressing, women's behavior and women's hobbies. At the same time, it is more important to take female hormone drugs. The function of this medicine is to inhibit the development of male reproductive organs, promote metabolism in the body and develop towards women. Generally, it has a medication period of more than ten years. After more than ten years, the physiological characteristics of men will gradually shrink. For example, the male penis will become shorter and smaller, while the skin will become delicate and shiny, and the buttocks and chest will become more developed. Like women, muscles will decrease, subcutaneous fat will increase, skin will be elastic, and breasts will grow rapidly, taller, rounder and straighter than ordinary women. During this period, the school will teach many skills. For example, let them learn to dance and get familiar with sounds. Practice is an extremely hard process. Leg skills, waist skills, head, hands, feet, etc. All need strict and standardized training. This kind of training is beyond the reach of ordinary women. In order to train a group of outstanding actors, some transvestite art schools or art groups have to select transvestites and send them abroad, such as the United States, Japan or other countries for further study. Therefore, the performance level of shemale art is quite high.

3. Where is the Thai shemale performance venue?

Pattaya Tiffany Shemale Song and Dance Theatre Tiffany Shemale Song and Dance Theatre is a pioneer in Thailand and Southeast Asia, and it has been 29 years. In 1974, it began to perform in South Pattaya Street. At that time, only three actors had the talent of singing and dancing, loved music and imitated the singing of Marilyn Monroe, a famous American Broadway singer and dancer. They are deeply loved by tourists at home and abroad, and gradually become famous. Anyone who came to Pattaya gave a high evaluation and left a good impression, and was called "the model of Kabala dance in Thailand". Tiffany's shemale singing and dancing performances are famous all over the world, and the audience is increasing rapidly. In view of this, Tiffany Performance Co., Ltd. moved the dance theater from Pattaya South Street to Pattaya Second Street. The dance theater is luxuriantly decorated, using internationally advanced sound, color and lighting equipment. At present, Tiffany has over 100 shemale performers with outstanding talents and superb skills. Tiffany Song and Dance Theatre has never stopped at its original level, satisfied with immediate interests, but made continuous efforts to satisfy the audience's appreciation desire and entertainment enjoyment, increasing day by day. Excellence is our motto. At present, Tiffany's shemale Song and Dance Theater has been rebuilt and expanded to make it more comfortable and convenient, and can accommodate 1000 audience, further improving the sound, color and light of the dance theater, including the stage decoration, making it more eye-catching and gorgeous. Tiffany's shemale musical drama also takes the personal safety of the audience into consideration, installing international-level disaster prevention equipment, installing an emergency evacuation elevator that can accommodate 20 spectators, and setting up special passages for the disabled and the elderly. ...

Tiffany Shemale Song and Dance Theatre is the most famous entertainment place in Thailand, and it is also an art exhibition place that men, women and children are interested in watching and enjoying. Tiffany Shemale Song and Dance Theatre is known as "the largest formal and perfect Kabala Shemale Song and Dance Theatre in Asia".

Fourth, the sorrow of the Thai shemale?

These shemale actors are excellent, with a monthly salary of 1 10,000 baht, and the difference is about 1000 yuan. They perform more than three times a day on average. The performance income goes to the troupe owner, who basically regards them as a tool to make a fortune. Therefore, in order to survive, shemale has to make money desperately. But they have no choice but to sell their gender, so many transvestites have to fool around. For example, in the red light district, many pimps in brothels are willing to hire beautiful prostitutes at high salaries. Shemale is discriminated against in Thailand. Although the law stipulates that they are men, no one has ever treated them as men, just as a group of playthings. They have been educated and edified by women since childhood, which makes their characters and bodies present feminine characteristics. During primary school, their psychological development was seriously unbalanced. Social discrimination makes them feel inferior and desperate. In order to keep women's skin and figure, all physiological functions must be disrupted. In this way, it is necessary to take injections, take medicine and inject sex hormones, including oral contraceptives, which will make endocrine disorders, produce a feminine mentality of men and gradually appear feminine characteristics. Such as breast swelling, will not disappear, skin tender, genital stop development. Causing serious physical and mental damage. Therefore, the life span of a shemale is generally not long, and the normal death age is around forty years old. Only a few transvestites who are deeply loved by men and are willing to spend expensive money on sex-change surgery can become real women after being examined and certified by doctors. However, in Thailand, the medical cost of a sex-change operation is so high that most shemale can't afford it, which is a portrayal of most shemale.

Five, Thailand shemale kingdom?

According to relevant sources, 1 out of every 30,000 people in Thailand is waiting for a complete change of gender, and a large number of foreign transsexuals are attracted here for surgery every year. There are now more than 65438+ 10,000 transgender people (some people think it is 500,000). (The price of transsexual surgery in Thailand is about 50,000 to 654.38+10,000 baht, while that in other countries is 500,000 baht. Most of these so-called shemale daughters, also known as "shemale", are changed from men to women. They went in and out of various entertainment places and sold jokes at the bar, which left a deep impression on tourists in China. In Pataia, the logistics and leisure base of the US military that invaded Vietnam, some transvestites dressed in strange clothes were singing and dancing in the luxurious ballroom, which fascinated China audiences with familiar domestic pop songs. In fact, not only men become women in Thailand, but also women become men. It's just that in people's minds, men who dress up beautifully are more attractive. Some experts say that shemale exists not only in Thailand, but also in Southeast Asian countries in the past. Just because other countries' economies took off, they thought it would hurt the country to attract tourists with shemale again, so they adopted the policy of driving away, and their predecessors gathered in Pataia, Thailand. As for why the shemale appeared and in which country it first appeared, there is no way to verify it, but it is an indisputable fact that Thailand is already the base camp of the shemale. You have never seen a shemale in Thailand, which means that you have never been to Thailand, and shemale has become the trump card of Thailand's tourism development. Some people say that Thailand doesn't want to show off the shemale, just because it promotes tourism, it lets the shemale go. Our attitude towards Thai officials is unknown, but the prevalence of shemale is obvious to all.

6. What is the output value of Thai shemale?

In Thailand, shemale is a big landscape, which shows the prosperity of shemale. Because shemale can perform in organized public performances, it is conceivable that the Thai government will be tempted to stop. If the Thai government not only has to pay attention to shemale, then some of the above problems are superfluous. In fact, I have consulted many people, and they have never worried about these problems. The Thai government has no mandatory requirement for the registration of gender change after transsexual. It turns out that Thailand's world-famous gadgets still belong to the "underground economy". Some people say that 5 million people in Thailand are engaged in underground economy part-time or full-time, accounting for 12% of Thailand's adult population, and the underground economy accounts for 57% of the gross national product.

Thailand is a small country with a population of only 60 million. However, 7 million overseas tourists come here every year, and this income is as high as 7 billion US dollars every year, which has become the economic pillar of Thailand.

Seven, the marriage of a shemale?

A shemale appears as a woman, but a shemale is also a human being. As a person, you must have love and marriage. On these issues, the law cannot escape. If you have a relationship with a man and eventually marry him, is it legally allowed? In some countries, this problem has been solved. Because allowing transsexuality means allowing them to start all their lives with a new gender, including marriage. Some people say that the reason why a transvestite changes sex is because she hates her original gender, so she won't fall in love with a man and get married. Then, if a shemale has a love relationship with a woman and eventually gets married, is it allowed by law? This is actually a sensitive issue of homosexuality. I have consulted the laws of Thailand, and there is no provision on this issue. Buddhism says compassion and western philosophy also stresses tolerance, so these countries have adopted a policy of inaction on homosexuality. After Clinton became president, a major decision was to allow homosexuals to enter the army. Recently, the Netherlands has solved the marriage problem of homosexuals. Marriage between homosexuals has been recognized by law, and the largest wedding between homosexuals in the world has been held in public. I guess next, gay families will fight for the right to have children. Will you fight for the right to maternity leave in the future? Will you fight for the right to social security? God knows.

The above problems have appeared in our country more or less. There are already transsexuals in our country, and there are also problems of love and marriage. Now there are also gay groups in China, and there are also legal problems of love and marriage between them. How should the law treat them? Is it strictly forbidden or taken seriously with a tolerant attitude? In modern times, law is only a special reflection of public consciousness. Is it more humane to actively channel some opposing emotions in the public and formulate tolerant laws?

Eight, shemale life is not easy?

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 shemale is defined as female in daily life. The shemale will choose to go to the public bathroom according to her dress that day. If it is women's clothing, then naturally go to the women's bathroom. 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).

Nine, fierce competition without 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 same road as almost all transvestites-pornographic services. 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.

X. feelings and feelings

At first, I didn't know what to do. I thought I had been to Thailand once. Although I have never seen a shemale, I often read news about her in newspapers and magazines. So I have always been curious about this kind of man or woman, so I decided to do this topic.

Most people think that transvestites are disgusting people and abnormal people, but only by truly understanding the historical background of transvestites can we really find that they are a very sad group. No matter what kind of statement about the origin of transvestite, it is forced by reality and is to cope with the harsh environment. Even in modern times, with such advanced technology, they still can't prolong their short and beautiful lives. Even in modern society, the development of transvestite has many stages, but it still exists.

In fact, transvestite is not only found in Thailand, but also all over the world. Even Thailand, whose main income is transvestites, has not taken good care of them, not to mention transvestites from other parts of the world. I read the information I found, whether it is about the exploitation of shemale by the boss or the feelings and marriage of shemale, although they are neither male nor female, I hope the world can face up to the problem of shemale and try to help them in the future.
