First off, let’s establish what a ladyboy is.
A ladyboy is a transgendered or transvestite individual in Southeast Asia. In Đất nước xinh đẹp Thái Lan, for example, they are openly tolerated if not embraced and even regarded as good luck charms.
My story takes place between Christmas và New Year’s last year, on Phuket. I would normally avoid what has become such a seedy place like the plague, but it so happened that I had to head there to lớn get a chest x-ray for my Australian visa. While there, I met a group of friends who wanted lớn check out the ladyboy cabaret. Given that I had nothing better to do, I tagged along.
Ladyboy shows are often a way for ladyboys khổng lồ save up for the final step of the surgical procedure lớn become a woman. The performers tkết thúc khổng lồ at least have sầu breast implants, and are quite often absolutely beautiful, and convincing!
I sat through an hour or so of performances in Russian, English, Chinese, &, of course, Gangphái mạnh Style, so that every possible thành viên of the audience would be satisfied hearing a tuy nhiên in his/her native sầu language, performed by crystal-adorned ladyboys khiêu vũ a little out of sync with smiles plastered on their faces.
After the show, we had an opportunity to take photos with the various performers. One of the more beautiful ones I had noticed on stage beckoned me over.

I couldn’t say no, right?
He (she?) grabbed my hand và slung it over her (his?) shoulder. My friover, Dylan (who attended with me on the pretense that ‘the journalist in him said yes’), snapped a pholớn just as the unthinkable happened:
The ladyboy stuck my h& down her (his?) top.
It rested there for a few seconds (though it felt lượt thích hours) before I realized what was happening. I pulled it baông xã out at lightning tốc độ, completely flabbergasted, as the ladyboy laughed at me.
For the remainder of the night I just kept looking down at my h&, unsure of what to vì chưng.
Do I wash it? Sanitize it? Chop it off?
And so, without even meaning khổng lồ, I made it to second base with a ladyboy. I have sầu now joined the rank and tệp tin of tourists in Vương Quốc Của Những Nụ cười who have sầu befallen such a fate.
I think the best course of action for me now is to lớn vì chưng as the locals vị, & regard this as a good luck charm. If nothing else, it makes for one hilarious story.

2015 Update: Transgendered individuals have a hard enough time with acceptance into the societies they were raised in without the burden of someone like me writing a post lượt thích this. I’m ashamed for highlighting our differences & instead want to celebrate the beautiful (inwardly and outwardly) & strong women who have sầu the bravery lớn embrace their lives as transgendered individuals. If this post offends you, it’s because I’m a silly girl without an understanding of the difficulty those who dare greatly lớn be different. I support you in all that you bởi, empowered woman. I respect your struggle và promise that moving forward, all that I vì chưng in my writing và attitude will reflect that. Much respect where it is due.
