But the legal definition of a shemale is male. Not male or female, which also happens to be in line with the name "shemale" itself. In Thailand, you can meet a shemale almost anywhere, but you just can't tell the difference. 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.
social status
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. Moreover, not all transvestites can become excellent artists. Among many transvestites, only a few can become arrogant. 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.
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. 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 handful of people can really become singing and dancing stars, become famous and make a lot of money. Most people have to work hard to earn a living and prepare for their old age (transvestites usually live in their 40 s). As for these shemale actors, the excellent ones earn 10,000 baht a month, and the poor ones are 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. 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). 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.
A transvestite's life and artistic career are short. Generally speaking, the average life span of transvestites is only 35-40 years old, and their physiological cycle has roughly three stages: one is the growth stage (before 18 years old), which is an important stage for transvestites to grow up in a feminine direction, and at the same time they have to accept relevant art training; The second is the heyday (18-25 years old), which is the peak of shemale's career. The shemale of this age will get many opportunities to perform on stage, and they earn the most wages; The third is the aging period (after the age of 26). At this stage, the shemale, like normal people over 55, begins to age. The reason why shemale lives so short is mainly related to their long-term use of estrogen. Because of the overuse of hormones, they are increasingly dependent on drugs. Entering the aging period, male characteristics begin to be obviously exposed, the skin becomes rough, the pores become thicker, and the voice becomes thicker. At this time, the effect of estrogen on them is not as obvious as before, and they have to spend the rest of their lives in physical and mental suffering.
The life of a shemale
It is generally believed that many transvestites are of the same sex. It is said that you can spend hundreds of baht to find a transvestite to spend the night with, and some people say that this is a "love spot" for European and American guests. When I arrived in Thailand, I found out after careful inquiry that this situation exists, but it is not so common. According to a Thai from China, many curious people travel to Thailand. In order to find out the true identity of the shemale, they will spend hundreds of baht to take the shemale to the hotel where they live, let the shemale take off his clothes and carefully observe his gender. As a result, it is indeed a man below the waist, but the penis is as big as a child. But the waist and ass look like women.
It is said that some European men have taken a fancy to the shemale and want to bring it back to Europe to have sex-change surgery for the shemale, that is, artificial vagina with modern medical surgery. But they were all rejected by the troupe. It is said that the redemption price offered by the troupe owner is as high as10 million. As for these shemale actors. Excellent, the monthly salary is 10000 baht, and the difference is only 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. Most people don't know, they mistakenly think they are women, and they know they are transvestites, so there is no way out. The shemale sometimes forcibly pulls some single travelers who walk alone into brothels. As for homosexuals among European and American tourists, they are the best targets pursued by transvestites, and European and American guests are also willing to spend the night with transvestites. 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, and they often run around looking for something to do. In order to keep women's skin and figure, all physiological functions must be disrupted. In this way, we have to take too many 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. As a result, the body and mind are severely destroyed, so the life span of 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.
The reasons for the formation of shemale
Thailand's tourism industry is rich in local characteristics, the most striking of which is the famous "shemale" performance. Gold has become the mainstay of Thailand's economy. Thailand is called a fantastic and beautiful tourist paradise by the world because "shemale" is a specialty of Thailand and a famous urban landscape in Thailand. Many unique cultural customs in Thailand focus on "shemale". Therefore, the prosperity of tourism in Thailand has a lot to do with the existence of "shemale". Many Europeans travel to Thailand for "shemale".
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, many 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 threaten and hurt the lonely ladies in the boudoir, which greatly wins the trust of the ladies. After the Mughal Empire, a large number of hermaphrodites 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. However, congenital hermaphroditism is rare after all, and it is difficult to hire even with high salary. Androgyny has become a hot commodity in the market. As a result, many men who have had a hard time are eyeing this market, cutting off their lower body with extremely primitive surgical methods, or simply cutting off their testicles and joining the ranks of bisexual people. Over the years, this kind of eunuch has taken the place of hermaphrodite, similar to the eunuch in China. The increase of eunuchs has greatly exceeded the demand. As a result, many eunuchs who couldn't find a job to take care of their wives turned to singing and learning to make a living by performing songs and dances and fawning on others, thus becoming a market and forming a "eunuch circle." Because of the great mobility of this eunuch, it slowly flowed to Thailand and flourished in this special country.
Another way to explain this phenomenon is 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 engage in it.
From the perspective of world development, the modern world is an open world. People are faced with various choices, such as employment, marriage and even gender. So it is not difficult to have a daughter, and society does not need colored glasses to look at it. For an open and free society like Thailand, the shemale is of course crazy.
The difference between a shemale and a transsexual.
The biggest difference between shemale and transsexual,
1, shemale can't have children because she has received too many female hormones.
After the age of 2.30, the body will be out of control and will generally be abandoned by the boss. Once hormones and beauty drugs are stopped, the body will lose its balance ... Transformers. ...
3, men, lost their last dignity ... transvestites generally live only 40 years old.
Transgender people, both men and women, have changed their gender because of psychological heterosexuality, including removing their own sexual organs and transplanting heterosexual sexual organs. Generally speaking, he changed her on his own initiative, or vice versa.
1, transsexuals can have children by transplanting sex organs.
2. They are generally in good health, but they like it or are willing to become the opposite sex for other psychological reasons. He just wants you to treat him like her more than a shemale.
3. Although there are negative reports and some moral reasons, transgender people are discriminated against by some people, but they are generally healthy and spiritually progressive.
[Edit this paragraph] Significance in modern network society
definition
Modern network buzzwords. "shemale" refers to people who are opposite to their real gender in the online world (QQ, forums, online games, etc.). ) is a derogatory term for this kind of person, mostly referring to men. For example, in online games, male players choose female roles, which are called shemale.
However, some online games have gender restrictions (that is, some occupations only have female roles) or female roles are extremely common, so their male players are generally not called shemale, even if they are called, they are not derogatory.
(For example, Nobunaga OL generally doesn't say anything strange to male players who choose female characters in the game. )
Advantages and disadvantages of network shemale
Under the normal psychological conditions of the public, people will choose the same game role as their own gender when playing online games. But some people just do the opposite and choose the opposite sex. Because most players are men, they have a nickname "shemale" for the crowd.
The purpose of choosing "shemale" to play online games:
1. Cheating, including cheating on feelings, equipment and money. Female characters are often very popular in online games. If they pretend to be MM, the effect will be more obvious.
2. Being the wife of a male character of a male player in the game is generally cheating (because female characters may benefit more or less from male characters, and vice versa).
However, due to the characteristics and influence of some online games, it is not excluded that both parties are men and know each other's real gender (both parties are women and there are also transvestites). What is even more strange is that some online games "transvestites" even reach the level of loving couples in real life.
In this case, it is basically not within the scope of fraud.
3. Female characters are beautiful (aesthetic) and well equipped (cheap, etc. ) and have special skills (plot or task, etc.). ).
Such people will also hide their truth, but they often don't cheat, and usually online friends don't ask questions (because the tone can already be seen). For others who don't hide their authenticity, some people say that they are men, but they are often called "shemale", but there is no derogatory meaning.
Some "shemale players" or players often find such players as partners. (The reason is simple = honesty)
In short: a "shemale" who acts appropriately is often respected by BS, but it is also often respected by some people. The misbehaving "shemale" is often very popular when it is not discovered.
However, if it is discovered, it will become "the object of thousands of people beating ten thousand people"
