The reality is that trans people exist and like these ladyboys have explained it pays better than most other jobs even if you have a college degree. They want to both take care of their parents and finance their transition. That said, most Thai ladyboys aren't actually doing sex work. You can see them working retail, restaurant and salon jobs all over untouristed Thailand. Go there and see it yourself if you really want to know.

id: 517770 - Text: @exnihilo415 these ladyboys in this interview series work as prostitutes in a sex club. They’re not in “retail.” Sexual tourism is a thing. A lot of married men on business trips cheat on their wives and betray their marriage vows by fucking prostitutes like this and bring home diseases. Their wives are clueless. It’s sad. People who say “they’re not hurting anyone” are delusional….
id: 517771 - Text: Selling and groomed to this life? this is totally bullshit, there are poor parent that sell their children to be sex worker, but Thai boy become ladyboys because their parent want them to be are totally absolute bullshit, they may accept, but not a single parent want their boy to be ladyboys, transfer boy to be ladyboys is not cheap process, they have to take hormone pills for many years, breast surgery etc. so you think the poor family can afford this? The poor family usually tell the boys to be Muay Thai fighter. I can tell that your friends and family lived in expat bubble live and after many years in Thailand still can’t speak Thai and to believe this kind of bs, I think they are racist and think they are above Thai people.

The Lady Boys in Thailand are on another level when it comes to being taken seriously as transgender and iI would guess that has to do with passing the eye test as well as the culture especially when it cones to how much more open the people in Thailand are about sex work.

He was able to pay for surgery to remove some of his ribs. Hormones don’t reduce ribs
id: 517785 - Text: You’re ugly, boobs horse faces Men from the moment you see them . Trans have a look like trans not woman and definitely not very good looking then real woman. Men like them love sex and anal is there thing
id: 517794 - Text: It's more difficult for non east Asian trans women to pass if they've gone through Testosterone exposure during puberty. They're just less sexually dimorphic compared to other races, and that's a big plus if you're transitioning. That and many Thai trans girls also start HRT early in life and the Thai plastic surgeons are very good and reasonably priced.
id: 517797 - Text: Have you known many Thai trans women who are sex workers? They are well aware of their sell-by date and put money away and start little businesses back in their hometown to make money. They are also taking care of their brothers and sisters who often still live at home also. They will likely be there to help take care of their trans sister as she ages. And the trans girl often helps her sibling's kids who are going to treat her like a favorite aunt. Fortunately living in Thailand is inexpensive and if the house is paid for and if you have a little garden you can do it extremely cheaply. Families take care of each other in ways that are quite different from the west were the assumption is that social security will do a lot of the heavy lifting for basic survival. Not so in Thailand. The extended family looks after each other.
