		<title>Debunking Common Misconceptions About Ladyboys</title>
		<link>https://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/addicts/debunking-common-misconceptions-about-ladyboys-r177</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 18px;'>In this article, we'll debunk some common misconceptions about ladyboys and kathoey culture, shedding light on the truths behind the myths.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Misconception: All ladyboys are sex workers or escorts.</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>While it's true that a significant percentage of the ladyboy community work in or around the sex industry, it's essential to recognise that there is an even more substantial number of ladyboys that don’t. Ladyboys represent a diverse range of individuals with various occupations and life experiences. Like anyone else, ladyboys work in multiple fields, from education and healthcare to business and the arts. It's important not to pigeonhole an entire group based on the actions of a few.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Misconception: Ladyboys are just men in dresses.</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Ladyboys are transgender women who identify as female and may have undergone various stages of gender transition. Their gender identity is not a choice or a costume; it's an innate aspect of their identity. As such, it's crucial to respect and address their identities with the appropriate pronouns and language.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://media.tenor.com/k7PpiCmH3pEAAAAC/fake-news.gif' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>Misconception: Ladyboys are only found in Thailand.</span></strong><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>While Thailand is well-known for its visible transgender community, it's important to remember that transgender individuals exist everywhere. Although the term ladyboy is somewhat unique to Thailand, different cultures have terms for transgender people, such as hijra in India or two-spirit in Indigenous North American cultures. The visibility and acceptance of transgender individuals may vary from place to place, but they are not exclusive to Thailand.</span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>Misconception: Ladyboys are sexually the same as gay men.</span></strong><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Gender identity and sexual orientation are two distinct aspects of a person's identity. Ladyboys are transgender women who identify as female, while gay men identify as male and are attracted to other men. It's essential to understand this difference and not conflate the two. It’s rare to find cis men who are attracted to ladyboys and gay men, and equally as rare to find ladyboys who are attracted to straight and gay men. Sexuality and sexual attraction can be more diverse and complicated today. It is incredibly ignorant to label ladyboys as being sexually the same as gay men or define any individual by a group stereotype.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://media4.giphy.com/media/VDTOChMWX1BmFflzyr/giphy.gif' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Misconception: Ladyboys are not accepted in Thai society.</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>The relationship between ladyboys and Thai society is complex and multifaceted. While it's true that ladyboys may face challenges and discrimination, there is a general level of acceptance and understanding rooted in Buddhist teachings and the acknowledgement of a "third gender" in Thai culture. Ladyboys can often be found in various aspects of Thai society, from entertainment and fashion to traditional cultural performances.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Sadly, many misconceptions surrounding ladyboys and Kathoey culture contribute to misunderstanding and prejudice. By debunking these myths and promoting accurate, compassionate information, we can foster a more inclusive and understanding society for all.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For the dating ladyboys in Thailand we recommend joining <a href='http://www.thaifriendly.com/?ai=337' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Thai Friendly</a> which has hundreds of Thai ladyboys listed.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For dating ladyboys globally we recommend joining <a href='http://myladyboydate.com/a/120' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>My Ladyboy Date</a> which has attractive ladyboys in many Asian and Western countries.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For ladyboy escorts in Asia and Europe, make sure to try <a href='https://smooci.com/?utm_source=ladyboyforum' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Smooci</a>.</span>]]></description>

		<title>Thai Ladyboys and Buddhism: a complex relationship</title>
		<link>https://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/addicts/thai-ladyboys-and-buddhism-a-complex-relationship-r175</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 18px;'>It’s been something that has fascinated me for a long time, and I’ve enjoyed exploring the topic deeper for this article.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Through this exploration, I want to shed light on the diverse experiences of Thai ladyboys within the context of Buddhist teachings and practices. As I delved into this topic, it surprised me how Buddhist principles both challenge and support the identities and experiences of Thai ladyboys and how deep and complex the relationship between the two has become.</span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>A Relationship Dating Back to Ancient Times</span></strong><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>The history of Buddhism in ancient Thailand can be traced back to the 3rd century BCE when Theravada Buddhism spread from India to Southeast Asia. As Buddhism became entrenched in Thai culture, it shaped societal attitudes towards gender and sexuality. </span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Ladyboys have been noted in Thai society for centuries, with their presence documented in ancient texts and art. The role of kathoeys in ancient Thailand was multifaceted; they often served as entertainers, spiritual healers, and even warriors. This historical recognition and integration of kathoeys into various aspects of society demonstrate Thailand's long-standing acceptance of gender diversity, influenced by the teachings and principles of Buddhism.</span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>Buddhism and the Concept of Gender</span></strong><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://cdn.theculturetrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/35641473223_44caf21dfa_z.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span></strong><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Buddhism in Thailand embraces the concept of impermanence, acknowledging that everything is subject to change, including one's gender identity. This holistic approach encourages empathy and non-judgment towards those who identify as transgender or gender non-conforming. The religion's core teachings, such as the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, emphasise cultivating wisdom and ethical behaviour, which fosters a more inclusive environment.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Despite this inherent openness, cultural and societal factors can still contribute to discrimination and marginalisation of ladyboys. For instance, traditional gender roles and expectations might limit opportunities for personal growth and societal integration. Furthermore, misunderstandings and misinterpretations of Buddhist teachings can hinder true inclusivity.</span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>The Third Gender in Thai Society</span></strong><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>In line with Buddhist teachings, Thai society's recognition of the "third gender" demonstrates a unique cultural understanding of gender diversity. However, there needs to be some clarification. Like many, I was under the firm belief that the word kathoey was a term that referred to ladyboys and their status as a unique gender. I was surprised to learn that the word actually refers to a broader spectrum of non-binary and gender non-conforming identities. Ladyboys, the most visible and prominent group, have become synonymous with the term kathoey, but its true definition does not mean transgender female.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Despite the wider acceptance, influenced heavily by Buddhist belief, the acceptance of ladyboys in Thailand is not uniform. The experience of ladyboys in Thai society can differ significantly based on socioeconomic status, family support, and regional attitudes. Additionally, ongoing prejudice and discrimination can impact their education, employment, and healthcare access. </span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>Ladyboys and the Monastic Life</span></strong><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://coconuts.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/image_3.jpeg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>One of the most revered aspects of Thai culture is the monastic life, with many young men expected to become monks for some time as a rite of passage. However, for ladyboys, this experience can be fraught with difficulty. While some temples may be open to accepting transgender individuals, others may not, which can lead to feelings of exclusion and marginalisation within the spiritual community.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Despite these challenges, some ladyboys have found solace and support in monastic life, even becoming respected spiritual leaders. An example of such a trailblazer is Phra Maha Sompong Talaputto, a transgender woman who became a revered Buddhist monk and teacher.</span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>The Power of Compassion and Understanding</span></strong><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Thai society, like any other, is constantly evolving, and many individuals and organisations are working to promote greater acceptance and understanding of transgender individuals within the Buddhist community.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>One such organisation is the Anjaree Group, which works to create a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals to explore their spirituality within a Buddhist framework. By fostering open dialogue and understanding, organisations like Anjaree Group are helping to build bridges between the transgender community and the larger Buddhist society.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>The relationship between Thai ladyboys and Buddhism is a fascinating and intricate tapestry, reflecting Thai society's diverse and ever-evolving nature. While there is a level of acceptance and understanding rooted in Buddhist teachings, it's essential to acknowledge the challenges and discrimination that ladyboys may face.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>The Buddha once said, "Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the candle's life will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For the dating ladyboys in Thailand we recommend joining <a href='http://www.thaifriendly.com/?ai=337' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Thai Friendly</a> which has hundreds of Thai ladyboys listed.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For dating ladyboys globally we recommend joining <a href='http://myladyboydate.com/a/120' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>My Ladyboy Date</a> which has attractive ladyboys in many Asian and Western countries.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For ladyboy escorts in Asia and Europe, make sure to try <a href='https://smooci.com/?utm_source=ladyboyforum' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Smooci</a>.</span>]]></description>

		<title>Is the term ‘ladyboy’ offensive and disrespectful?</title>
		<link>https://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/addicts/is-the-term-%e2%80%98ladyboy%e2%80%99-offensive-and-disrespectful-r171</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Having spent a lot of time in Thailand, ladyboy is a word I commonly hear transgender women refer to themselves as, and often with a sense of pride. While in Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam, I’ve never seen the word challenged or anyone taken offence by its use. But in the West, I’ve rarely heard the term used and seldom used in a positive light.<br /><br />In this article, we will explore the term "ladyboy," a word that can be seen as either cruel or an embraced identity, depending on the context. Examining this term from different perspectives aims to provide a thoughtful and informed understanding of its use and significance.<br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>Cultural Context: Thailand and Beyond</span></strong><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://media.tenor.com/9f5vrSLywE0AAAAC/its-not-offensive-history-of-swear-words.gif' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br />The term "ladyboy" originated in Southeast Asia, particularly Thailand, where it is widely used to describe transgender women or effeminate gay men. In Thai culture, ladyboys, also known as "kathoey," have been a part of society for centuries, with a long history of social acceptance and visibility in various sectors, including entertainment, beauty pageants, and the arts.<br /><br />Today, ladyboy is the English translation of the Thai word, Kathoey. Just as you may refer to a male as a man or a female as a lady, the term ladyboy is not inherently offensive, with many transgender women proudly identifying as such. While it's essential to recognise that cultural context varies significantly, and what may be acceptable in one community might not be viewed in the same light elsewhere, in Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia, including the Phillippines, Vietnam, and Cambodia, it’s not inherently an offensive or insensitive word.<br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>Perceptions in Western Culture</span></strong><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://33.media.tumblr.com/dd52252198e8308b4049a2fd53d7abec/tumblr_nxgseyZq9c1u92ljao1_500.gif' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br />In Western societies, "ladyboy" has taken on a different connotation, often associated with pornography and sex work. This association has led to the term being perceived as derogatory or objectifying, reinforcing negative stereotypes and contributing to the marginalisation of transgender individuals. Consequently, in the West, "ladyboy" is often seen as offensive and disrespectful.<br /><br />However, suppose you were to meet transgender women from Southeast Asia in a Western location. In that case, again, it's likely that they would not take any offence to the term and even use it to identify their gender. So, at the core of this discussion lies the importance of individual preference and self-identification. While some people may proudly embrace the term "ladyboy," others may feel it does not accurately represent their identity or experience. Ultimately, it is crucial to respect an individual's chosen terminology and be mindful of our words' impact on others.<br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>So, is the term "ladyboy" offensive and disrespectful</strong>?</span><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Alan-Youre-Language-is-Offensive-Hangover.gif' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br />The simple answer is ‘sometimes.’ When used with good intentions, in the parts of Southeast Asia where the term originated, it remains an inoffensive term to describe someone who identifies as a Kathoey. Of course, any word can be taken as offensive if used aggressively or when ill-intention is clear, but the term lady is not inherently an offensive word/<br /><br />When communicating with someone from outside of Southeast Asia or when out of the region, the term ‘ladyboy’ is generally offensive and should be avoided. Even if you are with a transgender female who is more than happy for you to refer to her as a ladyboy, it’s best to avoid using the term when outside Southeast Asia due to its skewed meaning and association with pornography.<br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For the dating ladyboys in Thailand we recommend joining <a href='http://www.thaifriendly.com/?ai=337' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Thai Friendly</a> which has hundreds of Thai ladyboys listed.<br /><br />For dating ladyboys globally we recommend joining <a href='http://myladyboydate.com/a/120' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>My Ladyboy Date</a> which has attractive ladyboys in many Asian and Western countries.<br /><br />For ladyboy escorts in Asia and Europe, make sure to try <a href='https://smooci.com/?utm_source=ladyboyforum' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Smooci</a>.</span>]]></description>

		<title>How Social Media Changed Ladyboy Culture</title>
		<link>https://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/addicts/how-social-media-changed-ladyboy-culture-r169</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>The Power of Visibility</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>One of the most significant impacts social media has had on the ladyboy community in Thailand is the increased visibility it offers. Whereas a decade ago, most Thais didn’t own a smartphone or have regular access to a computer, today it’s estimated that 80 of the country regularly uses a smartphone. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Line, and TikTok, are now extremely popular in Thailand, with many ladyboy users sharing their experiences, showcasing their talents, and expressing their authenticity. This increased visibility has allowed for a much better understanding of the ladyboy community by the wider public, fostering empathy and breaking down stereotypes.</span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>Influencers Breaking Barriers</span></strong><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://onecms-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/s--i4yYp6Ug--/c_fill%2Cg_auto%2Ch_338%2Cw_600/f_auto%2Cq_auto/v1/mediacorp/8days/image/2023/02/20/poyd-treechada-bachelorette.jpeg?itok=ljabdDbD' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span></strong><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Social media platforms have given rise to ladyboy influencers who are not only breaking barriers in terms of acceptance but also creating opportunities for financial success. Through their social media presence, these influencers are challenging conventional norms and redefining beauty standards. They also inspire other ladyboys to embrace their authentic selves and pursue their dreams, regardless of societal expectations. Notably, ladyboy influencers include ex Miss Tiffany <a href='https://www.instagram.com/poydtreechada/?hl=en' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Poyd Treechade</a>, self-made billionaire <a href='https://www.instagram.com/annejkn.official/?hl=en' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Ann Chakrapong</a>, and comedienne and actress <a href='https://www.youtube.com/@jenniepanhan9104' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Jenny Panhan</a>.</span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>Fostering Community and Support</span></strong><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Not only has social media provided Thai ladyboys with a platform to share their lives, but it’s also allowed them to connect with each other and build supportive and powerful communities. Through various groups, forums, and online spaces, ladyboys can share their experiences, offer advice, and find camaraderie in the face of adversity. This sense of belonging and support is crucial for the mental and emotional well-being of individuals within the community. It has helped many find confidence and pride in who they are. Pantip.com has been a hugely popular forum over the last decade, and through social media, it has created a lot of discussions dedicated to LGBT topics. </span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Advocacy and Activism</strong></span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/6a35b8e4af4c77fd2be45dd82ef63494127d6617/0_337_6720_4032/master/6720.jpg?width=465&quality=85&dpr=1&s=none' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>The power of social media extends to advocacy and activism, as it provides Thai ladyboys with a platform to raise awareness about the issues they face, such as discrimination, violence, and limited access to healthcare and legal rights. By sharing their stories and advocating for change, ladyboys are fostering a dialogue that can help drive policy reform and social change. Such organisations and groups as The Thai Transgender Alliance, TransFem, and The Sisters Foundation, have been able to use social media to educate and support the wider community.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Changing Perceptions in Thai Society</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>As Thai ladyboys continue to gain visibility and share their stories on social media, perceptions within Thai society are gradually evolving. While there is still progress to be made, the increased exposure to the lives and experiences of ladyboys is helping to challenge preconceived notions and promote understanding. In recent years there have been considerable breakthroughs in trans rights within Thailand, including seeing the first Trans lecturer employed by a Thai university, and the progression of same-sex unions edging close to legalisation.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Social media has undeniably played a significant role in the increased visibility and acceptance of Thai ladyboys. The power of connection, self-expression, and advocacy that social media offers have catalysed change in both the ladyboy community and Thai society at large. As social media continues to grow and evolve, it will undoubtedly play an essential role in furthering acceptance and fostering a more inclusive world.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For the dating ladyboys in Thailand we recommend joining <a href='http://www.thaifriendly.com/?ai=337' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Thai Friendly</a> which has hundreds of Thai ladyboys listed.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For dating ladyboys globally we recommend joining <a href='http://myladyboydate.com/a/120' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>My Ladyboy Date</a> which has attractive ladyboys in many Asian and Western countries.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For ladyboy escorts in Asia and Europe, make sure to try <a href='https://smooci.com/?utm_source=ladyboyforum' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Smooci</a>.</span>]]></description>

		<title>Thai vs Filipina ladyboys</title>
		<link>https://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/addicts/thai-vs-filipina-ladyboys-r156</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 18px;'>But it's also something those of us who have traveled to both Thailand and the Philippines and been with both in the flesh could really consider. I think it's worth discussion. </span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>There is really no question that Thailand is home to both the highest number and the highest percentage of ladyboys in the world. But the Philippines shouldn't be ignored as a ladyboy center either. The ladyboys you can find there are unique and great in their own way. They're not all that rare either. There are definitely more ladyboys in say Manila or Angeles City than you would find in most other cities around the world, Bangkok and Pattaya not withstanding!</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>In general you could probably finder hotter and more ladylike ladyboys in Thailand. There are a few reasons for that. The first and most obvious is that there are just more ladyboys in the Land of Smiles. So it follows that you would find more good looking ladyboys. But there's more than that. </span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>There's a whole ladyboy or kathoey culture in Thailand dating back ages. You can read some about it in great books like “The Third Sex” by Richard Totman if you're really interested. The long and short of it is that anyone born with a penis who feels like a lady or ladyboy doesn't have to start from scratch in Thailand. They see ladyboys around them, and they can easily find ladyboy mentors who help them transition and learn about everything. In the Philippines the ladyboys are much more relegated into the shadows and they might be scared to ask or even talk about their feelings due to the social stigma. </span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Finally, there is the money aspect which is something that definitely comes into play. Overall Thailand is a richer and more developed country than the Philippines. So ladyboys on average should have more access to money. On top of that there is the whole industry of paid sex in Thailand that ladyboys can easily take advantage of. Even an average looking ladyboy can bring in a decent income by Thai standards with a bit of activity. That money can then interact with the culture aspect since there are all sorts of plastic surgeons in Thailand who are used to helping ladyboys get breast implants, ass implants, facial remolding, sex change operations and more. </span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Ladyboys in the Philippines have less opportunity to make money if they want to go the sex work route. They are also less likely to have money from any mainstream job or their family. Even if they get money, they don't have as many options for surgery or people they can reach out to for help in their transition. But with all that said, I must say that there are some things I find Filipina ladyboys to be much better at!</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>First, most everyone in the Philippines can speak English. It's not nearly as easy to find English speakers in Thailand. Second there's a cultural aspect. With the Philippines being more westernized, it's easier to converse and related with Filipina ladyboys. Next there are the looks. Frankly, I find that Filipina ladyboys can be hotter than their Thai sisters in a lot of cases. Especially when it comes to their units. I much prefer the cut Filipino sausage to the sheated Thai hot dog. But that's just personal preference. </span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Finally there's the sex. I just find that the Filipina ladyboys are more into it and more adventurous. And most every ladyboy I've met in the Philippines can be either a top or a bottom depending on my desires. So I visit both places and have fun. Depending on my mood though, I might choose one country over another. How about you?</span><br /><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For the dating ladyboys in Thailand we recommend joining </span><a href='http://www.thaifriendly.com/?ai=337' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Thai Friendly</a><span style='font-size: 18px;'> which has hundreds of Thai ladyboys listed.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For dating ladyboys globally we recommend joining </span><a href='http://myladyboydate.com/a/120' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>My Ladyboy Date</a><span style='font-size: 18px;'> which has attractive ladyboys in many Asian and Western countries.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For ladyboy escorts in Asia and Europe, make sure to try </span><a href='https://smooci.com/?utm_source=ladyboyforum' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Smooci</a><span style='font-size: 18px;'>.</span>]]></description>

		<title>Where to find Thai ladyboys in Kuala Lumpur</title>
		<link>https://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/addicts/where-to-find-thai-ladyboys-in-kuala-lumpur-r154</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 18px;'>Of course Malaysia is a conservative Muslim majority country. Kuala Lumpur is a sort of liberal urban oasis in the middle of it, but it's definitely not a wild place at all. The same rules are in effect there that you would find anywhere else. So don't expect to find any Muslim ladies at the bar! But you can find Thai ladies and ladyboys who venture down in search of fun, money and maybe more. </span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>The main place guys go to meet Thai freelancers is a semi-outdoor bar called the Beach Club. With a live band and plenty of women from all over inside, the place usually fills up with guys and girls each and every night. Outside there are always a bunch of jackal like taxi drivers waiting to take drunk foreigners and their dates to hotels for exorbitant sums of money. Sadly, there usually aren't many ladyboys hanging out there though. And they don't appear to be allowed inside of the club at all. </span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Historically the main place you would find Thai ladyboys in Kuala Lumpur was along a street called Jalan Bukit Bintang, or just Bukit Bintang street since “Jalan” just means street in Malay. You don't even have to wait for nightfall to find ladyboys there. They stand on street throughout the day and they know about local rooms they can use too. It's kinda like Sukhumvit near the McDonald's in Bangkok where ladyboy freelancers hang out day and night. </span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Nowadays we also have the internet to help our search along. It opens a whole new world of ladyboys in Kuala Lumpur. First you have the independents and escort agencies operating out of apartments or hotel rooms. You can find them easily enough with a little internet searching. But for my time and money they are a lot of work and often a disappointment. You can also go the Tinder route, but then you end up swiping through untold numbers of regular girls to find a few ladyboys looking for money. </span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Thankfully <a href='https://smooci.com/?utm_source=ladyboyforum' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Smooci</a> is up and open in Kuala Lumpur so it takes all the time and hassle out of finding Thai ladyboys in town. Yesterday I was in my hotel room with nothing to do and a randy sort of feeling. So I opened Smooci, clicked Kuala Lumpur, then clicked transsexual. In the middle of the day there were about a dozen Thai ladyboys ready to come to my room, and they all looked good. Any one of them would have been a top earner at a Nana go go bar, which is maybe why they are here to begin with. I even saw a hot number with her nationality listed as Malaysian which I found very interesting. Anyone try that route yet?</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>There were just as many ladyboys open for incall too. And since I am the kind of guy who likes to sleep alone in a nice clean bed with no worries, I went that route. I got clear and easy directions and was able to do the deed and go home. I might have spent a total of an hour all together finding my date and getting there and back. Technology ain't perfect, but man can it help make life easy!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For the dating ladyboys in Thailand we recommend joining </span><a href='http://www.thaifriendly.com/?ai=337' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Thai Friendly</a><span style='font-size: 18px;'> which has hundreds of Thai ladyboys listed.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For dating ladyboys globally we recommend joining </span><a href='http://myladyboydate.com/a/120' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>My Ladyboy Date</a><span style='font-size: 18px;'> which has attractive ladyboys in many Asian and Western countries.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For ladyboy escorts in Asia and Europe, make sure to try </span><a href='https://smooci.com/?utm_source=ladyboyforum' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Smooci</a><span style='font-size: 18px;'>.</span>]]></description>

		<title>A review of Smooci for ladyboy lovers</title>
		<link>https://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/addicts/a-review-of-smooci-for-ladyboy-lovers-r145</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>A review of Smooci for ladyboy lovers, </strong>a guest blog</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>I have been dabbling with ladyboys on and off for a couple of years now. One of the reasons I haven't spent more time with ladyboys is that it can be a bit of a hassle to get out there and find one that I like. There are now more bars than ever, but truthfully they're not always fun to visit. Even when you find a ladyboy you like, you usually have to fight your way around the more aggressive shemales to get to them.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Escorts are a lot better in terms of ease. All you have to do is make an appointment, and they show up. The biggest problem with escorts is that a lot use fake pictures or deceptive stats. For some reason, thisi seems especially true when it comes to ladyboys. And it's a bummer to open your door and see someone there who looks nothing like the picture. What do you do in that situation? It's a no-win.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>When <a href='https://smooci.com/?utm_source=ladyboyforum' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Smooci</a>came along it really changed the game for me. I still wander into the occasional ladyboy bar to see what's going on. But I find myself usually reaching for my phone and punching in Smooci.com when I am horny and want to satisfy my urges.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>First of all, the site gives you access to more ladyboys than you would see in the typical bar or even a long stroll up and down Sukhumvit. I used the site last night and it took me a while to scroll through all the ladyboys. There must have been sixty or more. And very few trolls! The vast majority were pretty damn good looking.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>I don't worry about fake pics much with <a href='https://smooci.com/?utm_source=ladyboyforum' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Smooci</a>. First you have verified pictures. Then you have reviews from actual customers. It's not like agencies with the fake “testimonials” they type up themselves. Guys can write their real feelings and even leave star ratings. So you can pretty much believe what you see, since fakers won't last long.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Another great thing is that you can see the location of your escort after you book her. No more wondering if “five more minutes” means five more hours. You can actually just look and see where they are. By the time they show up to your door, you can be ready to go too. No surprises.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Finally, you don't have to go through the awkward stuff like figuring out a “fair price” and asking if a ladyboy you like is top, bottom, or verse. You don't have to ask if you finish on their faces or in their mouths either. It's all listed on every <a href='https://smooci.com/?utm_source=ladyboyforum' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Smooci</a> account. So no one can complain later claiming there was a misunderstanding or asking for “more money” because you smudged her makeup with your love butter.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>The internet is becoming a part of everyday life. Even refrigerators and washing machines are now online. It is surprising how long it took for a site like <a href='https://smooci.com/?utm_source=ladyboyforum' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Smooci</a> to come along. But boy am I glad it did. It makes my life a lot easier and brings me closer to sexier ladyboys.</span>]]></description>

		<title>What do you buy your ladyboy for Christmas?</title>
		<link>https://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/addicts/what-do-you-buy-your-ladyboy-for-christmas-r117</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 18px;'>You got the time off work, your family have bought the idea that you are going on yet another scuba holiday (and no longer question why you never bring back any scuba diving pics despite living in the age of the smart phone), and you've saved up loads of spending money - you're gonna need it! However, you've decided you still need to buy the ladyboy love of your life a Christmas gift.. What should you get her?</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Perfume</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Perfume is perfect, you don't even need to plan ahead, you can just pop into duty free at the airport. Not only will you get it at a bargain price but it'll also help kill time while waiting to board your flight. It's a total win-win situation.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Not really. Not only is perfume kind of expensive at airports these days (you'll get better deals buying online - of better yet, buying fake perfume at a Thai market), but you've also got to make sure you get the right brand. And anyway, you always buy her perfume at the airport and she takes it for granted now. This simply won't count as a Christmas gift.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/What%20to%20buy%20for%20xmas/xmas%20lb2.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Clothing</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Ladyboys love fashion and clothes. The latest skinny jeans, a dress with slutty slits revealing a little too much flesh, heels that are so high they come with air traffic warning lights.. Yeah, you'll get her a dress or a pair of heels, or maybe both, yeah both! You're smart, you'll work out her size - tall and skinny, with a bit of extra baggage space..</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>If you understand ladyboy fashion then you are either a prize winning psycho-analyst or a secret crossdresser (my guess would be both). Whatever you get is likely to be wrong and insulting, and a waste of time and money. Most of her dresser cost 300 baht from the market and now you've blown 3,000 baht on an outfit which will get moth eaten in her wardrobe.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/What%20to%20buy%20for%20xmas/xmas%20lb%205.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Jewelry</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>You know Thai's love jewelry, especially gold. In fact, your ladyboy girlfriend has been hinting at you to buy her a gold necklace for months. OK, this is it, you're going to get her an expensive, solid gold necklace, which she'll love and wear for years to come. And every time she looks at that piece of shiny jewelry she's going to remember how much you love her..</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>I'm joking of course. Obviously that isn't going to happen. Yes, she'll love it, you were right about Thai's loving gold. But she's only going to wear it for the duration of your holiday. As soon as you leave (maybe before if she has balls - which of course she does), she'll take it to the pawnshop to get it valued. When she cashes it in for night of Thai whisky and young rentboys simply depends on how much money you are sending her each month.</span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/What%20to%20buy%20for%20xmas/xmas%20lb3.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Surgery</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Now here's something she'll love, appreciate, and remember you by - and something she can't trade in for drugs, alcohol, and young male companionship. You'll buy her a pair of boobs or some hip injections..</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Newbie error. The last thing you want to do is start buying her surgery. Thai ladyboys love surgery, and once they start injecting things here, and snipping things off there, it becomes obsession, and an expensive one at that. It will be a downward spiral as she overdoes it and gets a huge chin, point cheeks, and hips which leave her having to use the deliver entrance to most stores. And she'll be expecting you to pay for it all. What have you done..</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/What%20to%20buy%20for%20xmas/xmas%20lb%204.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Money</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>You give up. Whatever you buy here it'll be wrong. How can you win, you'll just give her money, you know she likes money. She loves money. Money number one.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Sure you can give her money for Christmas, she'll say thanks and give you a kiss on the cheek. You'll feel warm inside, like a cool uncle who just bought his little niece a gift she actually likes. But this is extra money, it doesn't count towards her monthly sponsorship money, nor does it count towards the buffalo money she's about to hit you up for, or the money to pay for her grandmas trip to hospital. This is Christmas money, it's separate from all the other money you're going to need to give her on this trip.. But hey, you got her something she really wanted for Christmas.. Wait a minute. Buddhists don't celebrate Christmas.. What the hell were you thinking?</span><br /><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Written by: <a hovercard-ref="member" hovercard-id="8" data-ipb="noparse" class="_hovertrigger url fn name  bbc_member" href='https://ladyboyforum.com/user/8-moo-yung/' title='Member profile'><span itemprop="name">Moo Yung</span></a></span><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For the dating ladyboys in Thailand we recommend joining <a href='http://www.thaifriendly.com/?ai=337' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Thai Friendly</a> which has hundreds of Thai ladyboys listed.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For dating ladyboys globally we recommend joining <a href='http://myladyboydate.com/a/120' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>My Ladyboy Date</a> which has attractive ladyboys in many Asian and Western countries.</span>]]></description>

		<title>Choosing a ladyboy friendly hotel in Thailand</title>
		<link>https://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/addicts/choosing-a-ladyboy-friendly-hotel-thailand</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 18px;'>While many of Thailand’s major resort have a plethora of guest friendly hotels, with many hotels close to adult entertainment areas often catering directly to the single male traveler, it’s not a given that every such hotel close to the bars and nightlife will be ‘ladyboy friendly’ or appreciate you walking 3 amazonian ladyboys through the lobby at midday.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Some hotels that claim to be guest friendly still have rules and extra charges for those who want to bring ladyboys back to their room, and some are simply not set up in a way to make your stay a hassle-free one. To avoid any potential pitfalls and to help you make the most out of your trip to the land of ladyboys, here’s our guide to choosing the right ladyboy friendly hotel in Thailand:</span><br /><br /><a href='http://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/ladyboy-friendly-hotels/%20Guest%20Friendly%20Vs%20Ladyboy%20Friendly' class='bbc_url' title=''><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Check out our list of tried and tested ladyboy friendly hotels</span></a><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Guest Friendly Vs Ladyboy Friendly</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>To claim that a Thai hotel is guest friendly simply means that the staff will allow you to bring a guest back to your room. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be charged an extra fee, and it may also come with certain rules and restrictions.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Most hotels which are guest friendly will also be ladyboy friendly, especially hotels close to Bangkok’s red light districts, but in some cases a guest friendly hotel may not be ladyboy friendly; while they will allow their stayers to bring female guests back to their room they may now allow ladyboys to enter. Some will claim to allow all guests but may have staff that are prejudice against ladyboys and even unwelcoming to them. </span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>If you’re planning to take ladyboys back to your hotel room it’s important to make sure your hotel is ‘ladyboy friendly’ and not just guest friendly. </span><span style='font-size: 18px;'>The best way to check a hotel is ladyboy friendly is to simply ask them. We suggest you do this by email, not only will this get you their ladyboy guest policy in writing but you’ll also be able to do so anonymously if you wish.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/LB%20Hotels/Bangkok/Phachara%20Suites/1-bedroom--executive-prachara-suites-sukhumvit-hotel_Crop.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Joiner fees</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>A joiner fee is a charge some hotels will enforce when stayers bring guests back to their room. This can range from as little as 100 baht up to and over 1000 baht. Some hotels won’t advertise that they have a joiner fee and some will even claim to be guest friendly and then spring this extra charge on you when you bring your first guest back.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Most hotels will let you know about any extra charges when you ask for their guest policy and it also pays to ask if they have a joiner fee or extra charges for bringing guests back just to make sure.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>If you only plan on bringing one guest back during your stay at a hotel you can usually avoid paying a joiner fee by booking your room for 2 occupants (most Thai hotel rooms cost the same for 1 and 2 occupants), and when bringing a guest back and faced with a joiner fee you can tell them this is your 2nd occupant, and ask to register them to the room. This will usually work when bringing 1 single guest back, but rarely works if bringing a different guest home each night.</span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>Multiple guests</span></strong><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Some guest and ladyboy friendly hotels will allow you to only bring a limited number of guests back to your room. Most guest friendly hotels will allow you to bring at least 2 guests back to your room but some will charge for each additional guest with only the first guest allowed in for free.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Multiple guest policies tend vary and it definitely pays to ask the hotel on this their policy if you’re someone who likes a lot of company. It’s understandable that most guest friendly hotels will have a limit on the number of guests you can bring to your room, simply because they have to respect their other occupants.</span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/LB%20Hotels/Pattaya/Hard%20Rock/hard-rock-pool-view-m.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Location</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>One thing you must consider is the location of the hotel. If you’re planning on spending a lot of time in the Bangkok gogo bars or around Pattay’s Walking Street, you want to consider ladyboy friendly hotels within a distance that’s comfortable to you.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Some people enjoy hitting the bars and gogos but don’t like to be surrounded by nightlife, preferring a more serene locale. So it also pays to check the surrounding area of a hotel before opting for something recommended by other ladyboy lovers.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>The great thing is that ladyboy friendly hotels are plentiful in Thailand and you shouldn’t have to settle for something that doesn’t suit your tastes and requirements. Ladyboy friendly hotels aren’t limited to areas close to bars, and if you check with hotels in quieter areas you are likely to find some ladyboy friendly options.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Hotel type</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>It’s important to pick the style of hotel that makes you comfortable. Some people value their discretion and look for a hotel where they can go about their business unnoticed, while others are far less worried about what other people think and have budget and comfort high on their priority list.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Some people prefer small hotels and guest houses which are often great value for money and very friendly, but typically the staff and other guests will soon know what you are doing and who you are doing it with. At the other end of the budget some people love those large and luxurious hotels with stunning facilities and snazzy rooms, and often at affordable prices. However, these types of hotel also tend to attract families, even when close to the red light zones, and you may feel a little uncomfortable walking your date through the lobby or inviting her to join you by the pool.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>With all types of hotel it pays to check the typical type of guests who stay here, and large ladyboy friendly hotels within the red light areas are usually a safe bet.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/LB%20Hotels/Phuket/Royal%20Phawadee/493951.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>The bum hose</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>One last thing to consider is whether the hotel rooms have a bum hose. It’s often an afterthought to many, but seasoned ladyboy lovers will know the benefits of having one, and will often avoid rooms that don’t.</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Check out our new ladyboy friendly hotels section for a list of recommended hotels in Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket.. <a href='http://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/ladyboy-friendly-hotels/' class='bbc_url' title=''>http://ladyboyforum....riendly-hotels/</a></span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 24px;'>Our recommended ladyboy friendly hotels:</span></strong><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Bangkok:</span></strong><br /><br /><a href='http://www.agoda.com/intercontinental-bangkok-hotel/hotel/bangkok-th.html?cid=1652749' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>InterContinental Bangkok</span></a><br /><br /><a href='http://www.agoda.com/en-gb/sheraton-grande-sukhumvit-a-luxury-collection-hotel-bangkok/hotel/bangkok-th.html?cid=1652749' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit</span></a><br /><br /><a href='http://www.agoda.com/en-gb/phachara-suites-sukhumvit/hotel/bangkok-th.html?cid=1652749' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Phachara Suites</span></a><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Pattaya:</span></strong><br /><br /><a href='http://www.agoda.com/hard-rock-hotel-pattaya/hotel/pattaya-th.html?cid=1652749' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Hard Rock Pattaya</span></a><br /><br /><a href='http://www.agoda.com/en-gb/lk-renaissance-hotel/hotel/pattaya-th.html?cid=1652749' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>LK Renaissance</span></a><br /><br /><a href='http://www.agoda.com/en-gb/page-10-hotel/hotel/pattaya-th.html?cid=1652749' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Page 10</span></a><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Phuket:</span></strong><br /><br /><a href='http://www.agoda.com/hemingway-s-hotel/hotel/phuket-th.html?cid=1652749' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Hammingways</span></a><br /><br /><a href='http://www.agoda.com/en-gb/acca-patong/hotel/phuket-th.html?cid=1652749' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Acca</span></a><br /><br /><a href='http://www.agoda.com/en-gb/royal-phawadee-village-patong-beach-hotel/hotel/phuket-th.html?cid=1651550' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Royal Phawadee</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Best movies about ladyboys</title>
		<link>https://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/addicts/best-movies-about-ladyboys</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'>The Crying Game</strong> - <a href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104036/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104036/</a></span><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/Best%20movies/the%20crying%20game.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>*spoiler alert! Actually, the fact this movie appears in a list of ladyboy movies is spoiler enough, anyway.. Not just one of my favourite ladyboy movies but one of my favourite movies of all time. A proper British indie movie and a cult classic, written and directed by auteur filmmaker Neil Jordan. The story follows an IRA volunteer, Fergus, who travels to London to hide from his past and seek out Dil, his ex-hostage’s mistress, only Dil turns out to have a secret (hint, hint).. The movie shocked the nation with its ‘lady surprise’ scene, and I’m sure turned many young men into secret ladyboy lovers..</span><br /><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'>Beautiful Boxer</strong> - <a href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401248/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0401248/</a></span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/Best%20movies/beautiful%20boxer.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Beautiful Boxer isn’t just a great movie about ladyboys but this is one of the best Thai movies you’re likely to see.. The film is based on the real life story of Parinya Charoenphol, better known as Toom, one of Bangkok’s revered Muay Thai boxers, AND a ladyboy. This is a fantastic story tracking her story from a young boy who liked to dress in female clothes, to a Muay Thai champion, and through to her sex change operation.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'>Soldier’s Girl</strong> -<a href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0324013/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0324013/</a></span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/Best%20movies/soldiers%20girl.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Originally a made-for-TV movie, Soldier’s Girl has become a cult classic among the transgendered community, and certainly worthy of mention. It follows the true story of Calpernia Addams, a transsexual night club performer, and her lover, Barry Winchell, a soldier who pays the ultimate price for falling in love. This is a bit of a tear jerker but a very good movie.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'>A Girl Like Me: the Gwen Araujo story</strong> - <a href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0787484/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0787484/</a></span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/Best%20movies/a%20girl%20like%20me.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Another true story, A Girl Like Me tells the story of Eddie Araujo, a young boy who dreams of becoming a girl and does everything he can to make that a reality. It follows the many family and community issues Eddie faces to seek acceptance and finally become Gwen. It’s another true transgendered story laced with heartbreaking drama and tragedy.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'>Hor taew tak</strong> - <a href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0969711/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0969711/</a></span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/Best%20movies/Hor%20taew%20tak.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>To lighten the mood somewhat, Hor Taew Tak is a slapstick movie and a rare one at that: it’s a Thai comedy and it’s actually watchable! It tracks the outrageous antics of four aging ladyboys who run an all boy boarding school. As with many Thai movies the story revolves around the spirit world and trying to banish an angry ghost, obviously, but it’s funny in places, especially to those familiar with Thai ladyboys.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><strong class='bbc'>Hedwig and the angry inch</strong> - <a href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0248845/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0248845/</a></span><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/Best%20movies/Hedwig%20and%20the%20angry%20inch.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>A ladyboy movie with attitude! Hedwig and the Angry Inch follows the story of Hedwig, a transgendered girl from Berlin, who ran to the West to be with her G.I. American boyfriend. Now the lead singer in a punk rock band on tour in the U.S., Hedwig recalls her life story by way of a series of concerts.</span><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>So what’s your favourite movie about ladyboys?

		<title>5 Must Read Books About ladyboys</title>
		<link>https://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/addicts/books-about-ladyboys</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 18px;'>One of the best ways to graduate from ladyboy loving newbie to full on certificated trans addict, is to put your porn habits briefly to one side and start educating yourself in the world of ladyboy fact and fiction.</span><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>There are several great books on ladyboys and transsexuals, here are a few we recommend:</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Fiction</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><a href='http://www.amazon.com/Ladbyboy-Lover-Stephen-Leather-ebook/dp/B00DADZF7W/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1397048806&sr=1-1&keywords=ladyboy+lover' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><strong class='bbc'>The Ladyboy Lover</strong></a> by Stephen Leather</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>‘The last thing Jeremy expected when he moved to Thailand was to fall in love with a ladyboy. But that's what happened. And all went well until he decided that the one thing he needed to create the perfect family was a baby. That's when it all went horribly wrong.’</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>The Ladyboy lover was written by Stephen Leather, a successful British thriller author who also wrote the epic ‘Private Dancer’, which is consider by many to be the best novel about the Bangkok bar scene. This book, however, is more of a novella, just under 10,000 words and 30 pages in length making it an excellent and easy read, and a recommended introductory book for anyone curious about ladyboys in Thailand.</span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/Best%20Books/Ladyboy%20Lover.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><a href='http://www.amazon.com/The-Butterfly-Flame-Dana-Young/dp/1450288774' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><strong class='bbc'>The Butterfly and the Flame</strong></a> by Dana De Young</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>‘"There's something you need to know about Emily..." In the year 2404, America is no more. In a land ruled by the oppressive theocracy known as the Dominion of Divinity, being gay is a capital offense, adultery is punished with the lash, women are forbidden to work, and forced marriages are common.’</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>If you’re into Sci-fi and ladyboys this is the novel for you. The Butterfly and the Flame is a dystopian novel of a corrupt, technologically obscene, repressive future where culture wars have erupted and destroyed much of modern day America. Most interestingly, the story’s protagonist is a male to female transsexual called Emily La Rouche, who has been secretly living as a girl since the age of six, but is about to enter a forced marriage the moment turns sixteen.</span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/Best%20Books/butterfly%20and%20teh%20flame.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><a href='http://www.amazon.com/Almost-Perfect-Brian-Katcher/dp/0385736657/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><strong class='bbc'>Almost Perfect</strong></a> by Brian Katcher</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>‘Logan Witherspoon recently discovered that his girlfriend of three years cheated on him. But things start to look up when a new student breezes through the halls of his small-town high school. Sage Hendricks befriends Logan at a time when he no longer trusts or believes in people. Sage has been homeschooled for a number of years and her parents have forbidden her to date anyone, but she won’t tell Logan why.’</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Almost Perfect is a deep and heartfelt story about the difficulties and hardship of a young male-to-female transsexual in America. It’s also an extremely clean book which doesn’t delve into sexual fantasy or lust as many other ladyboy books do, instead exploring the psychological and social aspects of the story, notably done in a fairly easy to relate way.</span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/Best%20Books/Almost%20perfect.png' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Non Fiction</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><a href='http://www.amazon.com/Third-Sex-Kathoey-Thailands-Ladyboys/dp/0285636685/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1397049410&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Third+Sex%3A+Kathoey%2C+Thailand%27s+Ladyboys' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><strong class='bbc'>The Third Sex: Kathoey, Thailand's Ladyboys</strong></a> by Richard Totman</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>‘Through the lives of three kathoey, male transvestites, this introduction to transgender in Thailand places a cultural, historical, religious, biological, and psychological emphasis on international traditions of sexuality. A fascinating anthropological and sociological exploration, the context of transgender is detailed through the challenges and joys found in Manat, Lek, and Akorn as they travel through the social rites of passage to become kathoeys.’</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>One of the standout non-fiction books about Thailand’s huge ladyboy population, the book explores the lives of three male-to-female ladyboys. What makes the book such a fascinating read is how it follows three ladyboys with somewhat different views and careers Through a series of interviews the book paints a picture of not only the lives of the three Khatoeys, but examines the position of ladyboys in Thai culture, history, and religion.</span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/Best%20Books/Third%20Sex.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><a href='http://www.amazon.com/Ladyboys-Susan-Aldous-ebook/dp/B004R1Q5VQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1397049861&sr=1-1&keywords=Ladyboys%3A+The+Secret+World+of+Thailand%27s+Third+Gende' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'><strong class='bbc'>Ladyboys: The Secret World of Thailand's Third Gender</strong></a> by Susan Aldous</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>‘An intimate portrait of Thailand's ladyboys, the men who have chosen to become women. Funny, passionate, angry and provocative, Ladyboys is a no-holds-barred look at the secretive lives of Thailand's transsexual men. Here, they offer intimate details of the lives that they've never publicly revealed. They talk about the choices they've made, their relationships, families, frustrations and hopes.’</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Another great non-fiction book about Thai ladyboys, this one is perhaps more interesting in the fact that the narrator of this collection tales is a female, giving perhaps a more unique and alternative perception, compared to the many ladyboy related books authored by males. The book actually tells the stories of several Thai ladyboys, coming from quite different backgrounds and career paths, notably including a sex worker, cabaret performer, entrepreneur, and a Muay Thai boxing champion.</span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/Best%20Books/Ladyboys.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Written by: <a hovercard-ref="member" hovercard-id="8" data-ipb="noparse" class="_hovertrigger url fn name  bbc_member" href='https://ladyboyforum.com/user/8-moo-yung/' title='Member profile'><span itemprop="name">Moo Yung</span></a></span>]]></description>

		<title>Playhouse Cabaret</title>
		<link>https://ladyboyforum.com/page/articles.html/_/addicts/playhouse-cabaret-r41</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 18px;'>To get to Playhouse the easiest way is to hop on the BTS and exit Ratchathewi, it's a short walk to the Asia Hotel:<br /><a href='https://maps.google.com.sg/maps?q=Asia+Hotel+Bangkok+Phayathai+Road+Bangkok+Thailand&hl=en&sll=1.343746,103.824045&sspn=0.556714,0.669479&oq=asia+hotel+ba&t=m&z=17&iwloc=A' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Asia Hotel Bangkok </a><br />296 Phayathai Road <br />Phayathai Bangkok 10400<br /><br />I was excited to visit on a recent visit to Bangkok and had high expectations. The last time I was there was on the last night of Calypso at the Asia Hotel, which left a great memory of the place. The venue remained unchanged - large enough yet not as massive as some of the high-end productions, leaving enough room for an up close and personal experience. Such a great space. Ticket at 1200 TBH raised some expectations, that’s Tiffanys prices, ok.<br /><br />First thing I noticed that those <a href='http://i00.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/869/173/204/1207019303796jpg.jpg' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>cheap restaurant chairs</a> where still there, man they hurt your ass after like 15 mins. And wow it almost seemed they doubled the amount. Made me giggle to see some customers actually struggling to get passed other seated customers, consequently being near glued together. I like my personal space, hypersensitive kid an all.<br /><br />Also the same lecture-hall set up remained unchanged, which I never understood given that the space is so well suited for playful and personal lay-out. They really could have thought that through a bit better IMHO and overhauled it to do justice to the space. But oh well, stage is not too small, not too large, easily fits backdrops, 20+ performers, etc. All good stuff, but enough about the venue.<br /><br />The show itself is actually quite surprising. In a positive way. None of that high-end production Thai-Indian-Russian song touristy stuff. – not that there is anything wrong with that, like that dude said: “you love that shit man.” Playhouse has a nice (and fresh) mixture of quashi-modern songs combined with some cabaret, and even some musical, classics. I did find it a bit of a mix and match, with not always the right levels of energy flowing in and out. Funny also that they position themselves as Ladyboy cabaret, didn't feel it was actually with guys taking the lead in quite a few sets.<br /><br /><a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[249095]' id='ipb-attach-url-' href="https://ladyboyforum.com/uploads/monthly_01_2014/post-56814-0-65254500-1391173675.png" title="DSC_3527.png -  202.03KB"><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' itemprop="image" src="https://ladyboyforum.com/uploads/monthly_01_2014/post-56814-0-65254500-1391173675.png" class='bbc_img linked-image' alt="DSC_3527.png" /></span></a>
<br /><br />Its was nice to see that they maintained ‘The Joker’ who kind of does his own thing throughout the sets, although he was a bit too much in the forefront for my liking, needs the surprise factor rather then be a common denominator which I felt he kind of became. You know that kid that is always there but goes unnoticed.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anyway, you boys will want to know, any hot chicks? Sure. Not my style, but quite a few beautiful, and quite a few sexy ones.<br /><br /><a class='resized_img' rel='lightbox[249100]' id='ipb-attach-url-' href="https://ladyboyforum.com/uploads/monthly_01_2014/post-56814-0-35857500-1391181028.png" title="DSC_3289.png -  944.85KB"><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' itemprop="image" src="https://ladyboyforum.com/uploads/monthly_01_2014/post-56814-0-35857500-1391181028.png" class='bbc_img linked-image' alt="DSC_3289.png" /></span></a>
<br /><br />Did I like it? Meh. It was all right. I do really ike what they try to do, they do try to serve something different from the high-end productions with some surprising performances. I also like the energy of the performers, they do really try to make a show and sure I think they are pretty, handsome and talented and all. But you see the execution is just mediocre, student-esque even, and stage sets, well, you recall when you where in kindergarten, handcraft class, I’ll stop there. And man I get shivers down my spine every time I walk into an amazing space and see it not watered properly.<br /><br />Right, the main problem I have with the current approach is that they are charging me 1200 TBH in a prime location with a stellar cabaret heritage and serve me up something that is simply mediocre, albeit has the potential to be great. That just pisses me off. Put the proverbial dots on the i. It needs the right investment across all axis to do justice to the space and heritage. Having said all that, it remains one of the best spaces I have seen for a truly unique, playful and personal cabaret. I’ll tell you one thing, if I ever hit that lottery I am buying that space and serve it right. Ever watched Burlesque?</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>For more infomation on shows, times and tickets please visit <a href='http://www.playhousethailand.com/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Playhouse Cabaret</a></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 12px;'>Disclaimer: I am neither professional review nor writer for that matter, I write what I experience and my personal view - the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful.</span>]]></description>

Rarely seen single, they will usually be totally head-over-heels in love with their current holiday romance or long distance relationship, keen to tell you how 'this is the one'. However, drama is never far behind and watching their relationship unfold can best be compared to witnessing a rather horrific car crash in slow-motion.<br /><br />Hopeless romantics love to socialize but will rarely be seen without their current 'tirak' hanging off their arm. Find them alone and there is sure to be a sad, broken hearted tale to be told. If they haven't already spotted you, make for the exit, fast.<br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/5%20Tyepes%20of%20Ladyboy%20Lover/large_cityoflightsweb.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'>The Size Queen</strong><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Size queens are on a mission to discover the next big 'thing.' They'll gladly show you their photo collection of bed mates and recent conquests, and while it may look like they have a very wide and varied taste in the third sex, their past partners will all have one thing in common, a freakishly large slab of meet dangling between their thighs.<br /><br />Size queens are pack animals and rely heavily on a network of fellow phallus fanatics to help them seek out the latest hung heshe. They tend not to be particularly camp or effeminate but they are very open about their admiration for the larger ladyboy and not afraid to show their excitement over a lead on a new three legged feline in town.</span><br /> <br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/5%20Tyepes%20of%20Ladyboy%20Lover/large%20young%20frankenstein%20blu-ray3.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'>The 'Straight'</strong><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>Saddle up at a ladyboy bar next to a 'straight' tranny chaser and you'll find yourself chatting about football, sports cars, and gogo girls. The macho tone of the conversation will have you questioning whether the guy next to you is actually in the right part of town, although your concerns soon diminish as the he slaps a busty ladyboy on the butt and then tells you how her rogered the rump off her an hour ago.<br /><br />Though a very social animal, 'straights' like to distance themselves sexually from the size queens and kinksters, living with a sense of denial, seeing themselves merely as a tourist in the world of sword swallowing and bottoming. More often than not they have been married and divorced and are living the life of a bachelor (read: midlife crisis,). They'll be quick to tell you about a recent female conquest soon after being recognised by a passing 6 foot ladyboy.<br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/5%20Tyepes%20of%20Ladyboy%20Lover/ladyboy%20lover1.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>The Strong Silent Type</strong></span><br /><br />"What happened to Gary Cooper? The strong silent type." The Gary Coopers of the ladyboy scene keep their cards very close to their chest. It's hard to really work out what they are all about, but one thing's for sure, almost every ladyboy in town knows them and has spent the night in their secret lair.<br /><br />A rather reclusive breed, the strong silent type can be spotted all over town but rarely mingling with the minions. They are cool, calm, and have a never-ending thirst for ladyboy flesh. If it wasn't for their enormous online collection of ladyboy photos you would know almost nothing about them, at all.<br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/5%20Tyepes%20of%20Ladyboy%20Lover/Gary-Cooper.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>The Kinkster</strong></span><br /><br />Don't hang around a kinkster if you're squeamish or not extremely comfortable with your sexuality. Kinksters don't mess about, when they find that special daring ladyboy they get down and dirty, and they are always keen to share all the gory details with you over a light lunch the following afternoon.<br /><br />Kinksters are adventurous, no doubt about it, with a passion for sexual exploration, not afraid to delve either side of the gender lines. They often reach legendary status for their exploits, which become folklore within ladyboy loving circles.<br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/5%20Tyepes%20of%20Ladyboy%20Lover/pulp_fiction3340.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>The Trannyspotter</strong></span><br /><br />Even wondered where those 708 photos from last night's party came from, and how they managed to all be online by 11am? Thank the trannyspotter. <del class='bbc'>Rarely</del> Never seen without their trusty DSLR, trannyspotters are likely to appear at every ladyboy event and shemale related social occasion (especially when there is free food to be found).<br /><br />However, don't be fooled by their nerdy exterior and reluctance to tell you about their sexual activity. While more often than not the trannyspotter is a very kind hearted creature, you can almost be certain they have a secret fetish for femboys, large feet, and/or unwashed undies. Get one drunk and they'll spill the beans, telling you tales that can even get the kinksters cheeks blushing with envy.<br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/5%20Tyepes%20of%20Ladyboy%20Lover/tranny%20spotter.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span></span><br /> <br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>So, what kind of ladyboy lover are you?<br /><br /><br />Written by: </span><a hovercard-ref="member" hovercard-id="8" data-ipb="noparse" class="_hovertrigger url fn name  bbc_member" href='https://ladyboyforum.com/user/8-moo-yung/' title='Member profile'><span itemprop="name">Moo Yung</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>5 famous people who lust after ladyboys</title>

		<description><![CDATA[<span style='font-size: 18px;'>They may not have comfortably come out of the closet, but the evidence all points to a lusting for ladyboys. Here are 5 famous folk who got caught delving into the glorious world of ladyboys, transsexuals, and transvestites:</span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Lil Wayne</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>The tat covered rapper may have a memorable voice, but this rugged rogue also has a very unforgetable past. Lil Wayne spent a fair bit of time incarcerated but it looks like his soap and shower antics continue long after his release, with more than one shemale confessing to a carnivorous encounter with the pop star.<br /><br />Unfortunately girls, Lil Wayne is not a keeper. When transsexual pin-up Sidney Starr was interviewed about her night with the raspy rapper she made it clear the required levels of tranny wooing were lacking, by claiming "It wasn't close, he really just hit it and quit it."</span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/5%20Famous%20Ladyboy%20Lovers/Wayne.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Gavin Rossdale</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>The lead singer of British band Bush and husband to the rock goddess Gwen Stefani managed to keep his ladyboy loving past a secret for some time. However, Gavin's skeletons were finally revealed when Peter Robinson, aka former teen drag artist known as 'Marilyn,' admitted to their 5 year relationship.<br /><br />He may be admired as a phallic symbol up on the rock stage, but you have to have some set of stones to maintain a 5 year relationship with a teenage transvestite. Fair play.</span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/5%20Famous%20Ladyboy%20Lovers/bush1.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Ronaldo (the fat one)</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>At one point Ronaldo was without doubt the greatest footballer in the world. Young, rich, famous, and dodgy barnet aside, he could have had almost any girl on the planet. Instead he opted to spend the night with 3 of Rio's finest transgenered street hookers. Unfortunately for the buck-toothed Brazilian he was caught in the act by a passing patrol car.<br /><br />When question back at the cop shop he told the officers he was merely looking to 'amuse himself'. Ronaldo's preferred position was not revealed that night. Whether he is a power forward or prefers to play from the back, still remains a mystery.</span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/5%20Famous%20Ladyboy%20Lovers/Ron.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Eddie Murphy</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>During the filming of 'Holy Man' in 1997, Eddie Murphy was caught red handed picking up a transsexual hooker down on the infamous Santa Monica Boulevard. When police questioned him he gave the immortal quote 'I was just giving her a ride home, mr officer.' Though he didn't specify whose home they were heading to.<br /><br />Anyone who has seen Holy Man (or any of Eddie's movies post-Coming to America), will know full well that this Nutty Professor should be far more ashamed about his choice of film roles than in his selection of bed wrestling partners.</span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/5%20Famous%20Ladyboy%20Lovers/Ed.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 24px;'><strong class='bbc'>Hugh Grant</strong></span><br /><br /><span style='font-size: 18px;'>He may have had the lovely Liz Hurley as his bird, but Mr Grant couldn't resist the divine tranny charms of Ms Brown. While movie star Grant was put to shame for picking up this transsexual hooker, the Canadian call girl was catapulted into the media spotlight and received more than 15 minutes of fame.<br /><br />Not only did Divine Brown hit the interview circuit, spilling the beans on her brief encounter with humbled Hugh, but she also became an award winning Canadian pop star, winning a Juno award (whatever that is) and supporting the Backstreet Boys on their 1998 'Unbreakable' tour. Hugh, meanwhile, continues to make bad movies, playing the stereotypical bumbling Brit (albeit, with a not-so-secret craving for ladyboy meat).</span><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99019401/Pictures/Articles/5%20Famous%20Ladyboy%20Lovers/Hugh.jpg' alt='Posted Image'  /></span><br /><br /><strong class='bbc'>Written by: </strong><span style='font-size: 14px;'><a hovercard-ref="member" hovercard-id="8" data-ipb="noparse" class="_hovertrigger url fn name  bbc_member" href='https://ladyboyforum.com/user/8-moo-yung/' title='Member profile'><span itemprop="name">Moo Yung</span></a></span>]]></description>
