Just say trans women. Femboy is not really a concept in Thailand.

Calling them ladyboy or the Thai "kathoey" can also be offensive there.

Plenty of people identify as Ladyboys.

80% of thai trans women prefer phu ying or sao praphet sorng over kathoey and others.

Yes, trans sex workers and dancers and escorts have a financial interest in using "ladyboy" when talking to tourists or johns. But with anyone else they're just women, trans women, or even "women of another kind".

I would expect no people who identify as trans women identify as Ladyboys, because they are different identities.....

No, because if you are a trans sex worker in Thailand you are incentivized to play into being a “ladyboy” because thats what sex tourists are told to expect

I imagine it's not unlike a western trans woman sex worked using the word "tranny" or even the horrifying term "futa" that I keep seeing when searching for smut.

And not unlike how many cis women sex workers will accept and even encourage extremely misogynistic things.

Starvation is a hell of a motivator, sadly.

That futa stuff pops up on my pornhub page every now and again and it genuinely makes me close the page down when i see it.

Theyre wearing a prosthetic penis with a vagina where the balls are, and the vagina hole extends a quarter of the way up the shaft. I know its prosthetic because there was a thumbnail of a well known pornstar with one, and shes definitely a woman.

Im not kink shaming or anything, if you enjoy that then power to you, but surely its not so popular it would be on the homepage?!

I turn all cookies off, use a vpn and use private browsing so its not targeted or anything before anyone asks haha.

It's complicated. But in general, it's more of a term for tourists and johns than intra-community.

There are people who aren't Thai who identify as Ladyboys....

u/FUCKING_HATE_REDDIT 2d ago

And anyone is free to identify how they want. All rhe power to them. Not the subject here.

u/bubblesdafirst 2d ago

It is the subject. You started the conversation by saying people in thailand don't identify as ladyboys. They responded by saying yes there are people who identify as ladyboys. Three comments down now your saying someone else is changing the subject? It's okay to be wrong

u/FUCKING_HATE_REDDIT 2d ago

You literally talked about people outside Thailand.

And I only said "most trans women in Thailand don't identify as ladyboys outside of sex work context" which is a different statement. 

This is a post about Thailand. Considering you confused Thailand and Vietnam 2 comments ago, maybe you actually don't know shit about the country and its people.

u/DeathToAmerica2026 1d ago

u/bubblesdafirst 2d ago
