The origin of Thai ladyboys

There are various opinions on the origin of Thai ladyboys. There is a saying that it evolved from the "eunuch" in India. The history of eunuchs in India can be traced back to the Mughal Islamic state formed in northern India in the early 16th century.

During the long years of conquest, many Muslim leaders in the army specially collected a group of "hermaphrodites" (congenital hermaphrodites) to serve their female relatives at home. The purpose of this is naturally to prevent "backyard changes".

Because these hermaphrodites have high salaries and are generally loyal to their masters, coupled with their own physical defects, they cannot pose a threat or harm to the lonely female relatives in the boudoir, and they are very popular with their masters. of trust. After the Mughal Empire, a large number of intersex people were favored and rewarded heavily by their masters.

Since then, the rulers of the country and other dignitaries have gradually developed the custom of hiring intersex people to serve their female relatives, and this has gradually expanded to the entire India.

However, after all, there are very few people with congenital intersex, and it is difficult to recruit them even if they pay a lot of money. Intersex people have become a hot commodity in the market. As a result, many men who are struggling to make a living have spotted this market and used extremely primitive surgical methods to mutilate their lower bodies, or simply remove their testicles and join the ranks of intersex people. Over time, this kind of eunuch took the place of hermaphrodites, similar to Chinese eunuchs.
