Thai shemale (Thai: GRATEAI. English: SHEMALE), mainly refers to the male who performs in Thailand's tourist attractions and develops abnormally after taking estrogen since childhood. Some of them are transsexuals (male genitals have been removed), while most of them are still "men", but their chests are swollen and their waists are slender, and they have completely lost their fertility (they can still ejaculate). Transvestites are all beautiful, and the difference between their looks and those of women is that they are generally big hands and feet, which can be recognized by their voices.
Thai shemale originated during World War II, and American soldiers stationed in Thailand called prostitutes. Parents who have no girls in Thailand transsexual their children to earn money from the US military. 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!
SHEMALE, Thai: (GRATEAI), English: Shemale, mainly refers to a male who specializes in performing and develops from taking estrogen. Among them, some of them are transsexuals who have undergone surgery on their external genitals, and most of them are "men", but their breasts are swollen and their waist is slender. Although she can ejaculate, she has completely lost her fertility. Most transvestites are beautiful, and the only difference from women in appearance is that they have big hands and feet, which can be recognized by voice. Most of these people are concentrated in Thailand, and we call them "shemale".
The origin of shemale
The Evolution of "Eunuch" in India
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 pose threats and harm to the orphans in the boudoir, which greatly wins the trust of the people. [ 1]
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. [2]
The Historical and Cultural Evolution of Thailand
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 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". [3]
Growth process
The growth process of shemale, in Thailand, shemale generally comes from poor families with difficult life, so it can be said that almost no rich children are willing to be shemale. In Thailand, there are schools that specialize in cultivating shemale. It is usually cultivated when children are two or three years old. The way of training is 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 effect of this medicine is to inhibit the development of male reproductive organs and promote the excessive development of female metabolism in the body. 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 penis of men will become short and small, and the skin will become delicate and moist.
Shemale life
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 sex-change surgery is staggering. For most transvestites, it is an unattainable thing and a portrayal of most transvestites.
At present, shemale is a "pet" all over the world, and these "pets" are only available in Thailand. As for why Thai shemale is so prosperous, it is closely related to Thailand's political, economic, cultural and social background, which needs further understanding.
cause
Thai shemale comes into being because sex tourism in Thailand is rampant, and women can make a lot of money in this business. Some men try their best to turn themselves into "women" for a living; In order to make a lot of money, some traffickers also try their best to kidnap and make shemale. As a result, the special group of "shemale" has gradually formed. By the 1990s, there were 20,000 transvestites in Thailand, all aged between 14-50, mainly in transvestite song and dance troupes, bars and nightclubs in Pattaya. People who travel to Thailand must see the shemale, but is it a man or a woman? How "they" become shemale; What deformed inner world "they" are caused by deformed people's bodies, but all this is little known. The songs and dances performed by transvestites can be said to have a considerable artistic level. Usually, the performance represents the dance programs of various countries, and many tourists go to watch it every night. Thailand's colorful nightlife attracts a large number of tourists to start their night entertainment programs every night. Before the performance, the audience lined up outside for admission.
In the lively nightlife in Bangkok, Pattaya and other places, the shemale show is a performance that makes people feel unfair to the creator. Different from the women's disguised as men's shows of red top artists in recent years, these coquettish dancers are completely dressed as men. These enchanting dancers are more feminine in appearance and shape than the female audience under the stage. Among them, not only men, but also women will be heartbroken.
Most transvestites who perform on the stage are over 1.7 meters tall, slim and have regular facial features. Looking back, there are many customs. And they all have shawl-like long hair with a bright black luster. Wearing sapphire earrings on her ears and a crystal necklace on her chest, Lian Bu was wrapped in a gorgeous dress, which was light and beautiful, just like a fairy. Of course, the most touching thing is that the necklines of these ladies are extremely low and their white breasts are very attractive. Coupled with scratching and flirting from time to time, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The performances of the shemale show, including national dances and representative songs from various countries, not only attracted tourists, but also attracted local people. Many shemale performances also feature China songs and drama performances, which have a unique flavor. They are as light as a swallow and as beautiful as a butterfly, which caters to the appetite of tourists from all over the world and is wonderful. Songs sung in foreign languages can achieve the effect of confusing the fake with the real. In fact, the actors just talk to each other, but they actually play tapes. This is caused by the fact that the vocal cords of shemale can't be completely feminine.
In addition to plastic surgery, these dancers also learn beauty makeup and practice dancing, which is also a necessary course for them to successfully shape their graceful figure. I can't help sighing when I know that these transvestites are all reformed the day after tomorrow. Even if I am a transvestite, I have to rely on God to give me a symmetrical and thin skeleton. Otherwise, no matter how good she looks, she can't be the best heroine. She can only run away or develop into a clown. Older transvestites tend to develop into clowns and attract Doby audiences. Therefore, tourists can not only enjoy luxurious song and dance performances, but also see ordinary dancers performing comedies. There are different opinions about the appearance of Thai shemale.
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.
Famous reason
The shemale is a major feature of Thailand. The polite address in Thai is "Miss Bisexuality", and the common address is "Transgender". Many institutions have conducted different research and analysis on why Thailand has the largest number of shemale. So far, there is no concrete and credible conclusion. According to the author's experience and observation of living in Thailand for more than ten years, the reason why Thai shemale is very famous in the world is mainly concentrated in Thailand's religion, geography, education and so on.
Religious reasons
First of all, in terms of religion, Thailand is a country that pursues Hinayana Buddhism, and similar countries include neighboring Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar. The biggest difference between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism lies in the principle of self-awareness and absolute self-spiritual independence. Different from Mahayana Buddhism's concept of purdah and self-indulgence, absolute respect between people is the biggest feature of Thais. You can see that people in Thailand worship each other like Buddha, instead of hugging and shaking hands like other countries, because they think it is impolite to touch others' bodies without their permission, which is also a manifestation of Thai people's respect for themselves and others. For social phenomena, their principle is to fully understand and respect. Before they express their views on a matter, they always ask themselves, "What right do I have to comment on this matter?" So as long as it is not a blatant illegal act, Thais usually don't take the initiative to intervene and accuse. Therefore, Thais always take a tolerant attitude towards other people's sexual orientation and gender mistakes, thinking that these are other people's rights, and do not interfere, comment or criticize according to their own worldview. Therefore, shemale is basically not discriminated against by society in Thailand.
Geographical reasons
The other is geographical reasons. Thailand is located in Southeast Asia, with a hot climate and people's living habits, so it has developed a slow-paced lifestyle. In addition, Thailand is in the position of China Kun in terms of geomantic omen and orientation, and it is often said that Yin is more important than Yang. The whole country is a treasure land, surrounded by mountains and seas, which is also the main reason for Thailand's rich products and social peace. There has been no foreign invasion for more than 270 years. If interested readers can look at the map of Thailand, Thailand borders the Gulf of Thailand in the south, the mountains in the middle and north, and Bangkok is in the middle of the sea. If Thailand is compared to a woman and the areas extending to the south on both sides are compared to her legs, Bangkok is in the so-called female genital position, which is also a very shady position in the land of Yin and Kun.
So the whole Bangkok is full of femininity, which makes Thai women gentle and hardworking, while men become gentle and polite, friendly and polite. At the same time, in such a very dark place, it is easy to see many extremely contradictory things, in which men will turn to gender barriers and hermaphroditism. According to the summary and statistics of medical institutions in Thailand, those transsexuals or transvestites are rarely out of psychological nature, but mostly in gene pitch and hormones, or many transvestites are congenital. Because many of them began to show femininity when they were 12- 15 years old, and their physical structure was different from that of normal men, with obvious changes in their bones, skin and voice, and they also began to show femininity psychologically during this period.
Educational reasons
Due to the factors of educational methods, Thailand is a country that pays more attention to traditional morality and etiquette. Most children have received all kinds of etiquette and religious knowledge since primary school. Many schools also offer meditation classes, and most primary schools have built temples in or near them. Because the temple was responsible for the education of primary school students a hundred years ago, it has been inextricably linked with religion since primary school, and it also inherits traditional etiquette in the family. It is a tradition here to respect the old and love the young. When two adults talk face to face, if a child needs to pass, he must bow his head and pass in a semi-squatting position. Even children have to pee outside, so they can have a rest under the tree casually and then apologize to the tree for a week. A man who speaks loudly and behaves rudely will be considered an uneducated person. Although the economic development of Thailand is not very high, the personal education and quality of life of Thai people are far higher than those of other countries.
At present, there is no accurate figure for the number of transvestites in Thailand, but according to the current population of 64 million in Thailand and the fact that the proportion of transvestites among men is generally recognized as 2%, the number of transvestites should be around 640,000. The number of transvestites in the 20-40 age group should be around 400,000. Most of them are divided into five occupations. One is those with better social status and income, such as movie stars, singers, beauty makeup artists, fashion designers, government civil servants, and even university teachers and flight attendants. The other is engaged in freelance work, such as beauty salon owners, freelance actors, models and so on. The third is people who are engaged in the performance industry in tourist attractions, and the fourth is middle school students and college students at school. Many key famous universities often mix with transvestites and get the first place in the annual beauty contest. Many transvestites with good innate qualifications only know that they are transvestites, but students who have studied for four years hardly know that. The fifth is to engage in the porn industry. All transvestites in Thailand are already in these five industries, which means that there are 80 thousand transvestites in each of these five industries.
