Shemale (Thai name: GRATEAI. English: shemale mainly refers to a man who specializes in acting and developed from taking estrogen at an early age. Some of them are transsexuals (external genitals have been operated on), and most of them are "men", but their breasts are swollen and their waist is slender, and they have completely lost their fertility (they can also ejaculate). Most of them are beautiful, and the only difference from women in appearance is that they usually 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 shemale was originally called by Hong Kong and Taiwan. In some areas, they are called "red artists" because most transvestites live by singing and dancing. Xinglong City, Hainan Province, China has a place dedicated to performing for red artists. Due to the special social environment and reasons, shemale is mainly the object of enjoyment for people, and the bitterness of his life is self-evident. Older transvestites are developing into clowns, and the audience in Doby depends on God to give them a symmetrical and thin skeleton. Otherwise, no matter how good-looking she is, she can't be the best actress. She can only walk on or develop into a clown. The performances of the shemale show, including national dances and representative songs from various countries, not only attracted tourists, but also attracted local people. In addition to enjoying the luxurious song and dance performances, you can also see ordinary dancers performing comedies. 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 and have a hard 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 in daily life, shemale is defined as female. 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 is generally considered to have many same-sex perverts. It is said that you can find a shemale for the night for a few hundred baht. It is said 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 reason for the formation of shemale is that Thailand's tourism industry is rich in local characteristics, among which the most striking 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.
