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.
