The experience of a shemale:
The shemale is training. 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.
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.
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.
