Are there many transsexuals in Thailand?

I was lucky enough to have been to Thailand once. Indeed, the transgender industry there really surprised me, almost everywhere. They are also called shemale by most people. Almost every tour group can't avoid the show performed by the shemale. A single ticket for a performance costs several hundred RMB, so rich income is also an important local economic pillar. Although I personally don't like the name "shemale", I always feel a little discriminatory, but for the convenience of the following description, I'll call it that. Why are there so many Thai shemale? What is the reason why they choose transsexuality? Please read the following:

1.? Thai people have a relatively open attitude towards sex. As many people know, Thailand accepts the yellow industry and will not restrict it. It even has a long history, and its capital, Bangkok, is a world-famous sex capital. Therefore, it is not difficult to see that in Thailand, the locals do not exclude shemale, nor do they discriminate against shemale.

2.? There is a serious imbalance between men and women in Thailand. There are too few women in Thailand, and the status of transgender workers in Thailand is as popular and respected as that of monks, because this situation has also been improved under dual conditions.

3.? After transsexuality, you can often get money faster and have a certain social status. In fact, most transsexuals, that is, transvestites, are poor at home, so the high income after entering the industry is fatal to them. In Thailand, if he is poor, there are often only two ways out, or he can go to a temple and be a monk for life. After all, Thailand is also the capital of Buddhism, with many temples. Or engage in the shemale industry after transsexuality. Being a shemale earns much more than other ordinary industries. Although shemale is easily limited by age, the money they saved when they were young is enough for them to spend their old age comfortably. In addition, there are many beauty contests for shemale in Thailand. Once they win, many people will become famous, get higher income and even have a certain social status. Some of them married rich people abroad.
