The Origin of Thai shemale Phenomenon-History and Present Situation?

1, origin:

It evolved from "eunuchs" in India. The history of Indian eunuchs can be traced back to the Mughal Islamic State formed in northern India at the beginning of16th century.

During the long years of conquest, many Muslim leaders in the army specially recruited a number of "hermaphrodites" (congenital hermaphrodites) to serve their wives who stayed at home. The purpose of doing this is naturally to prevent "backyard emotional changes." Because of their high salaries, these hermaphrodites are generally loyal to their masters, and because of their own physical defects, they can't threaten and hurt the orphans in the boudoir, which greatly wins the trust of the people.

After the Mughal Empire, a large number of hermaphrodites were favored and rewarded by their owners. Since then, Indian rulers and other dignitaries have gradually developed the custom of hiring bisexual people to serve their wives, and gradually extended to the whole of India. However, congenital hermaphroditism is rare after all, and it is difficult to hire even with high salary. Androgyny has become a hot commodity in the market.

As a result, many men who have had a hard time are eyeing this market, cutting off their lower body with extremely primitive surgical methods, or simply cutting off their testicles and joining the ranks of bisexual people. Over the years, this kind of eunuch has taken the place of hermaphrodite, similar to the eunuch in China. The increase of eunuchs has greatly exceeded the demand.

As a result, many eunuchs who couldn't find a job to take care of their wives turned to singing and learning to make a living by performing songs and dances and fawning on others, thus becoming a market and forming a "eunuch circle." Because this kind of eunuch is very mobile, it slowly flows to Thailand and thrives in this special country of Thailand!

2. Current situation:

In the 1990s, there were 20,000 transvestites in Thailand, all aged between 14-50, mainly in transvestite song and dance troupes, bars and nightclubs in Pattaya.

In the lively nightlife in Bangkok, Pattaya and other places, the shemale show is a performance that makes people feel unfair to the creator. Different from the women's disguised as men's shows of red top artists in recent years, these coquettish dancers are completely dressed as men. These enchanting dancers are more feminine in appearance and shape than the female audience under the stage. Among them, not only men, but also women will be heartbroken.

Extended data:

Social reasons for the existence of shemale;

Thailand is a country that pursues Hinayana Buddhism. The biggest difference from Mahayana Buddhism lies in the principle of self-awareness and absolute self-spiritual independence. Therefore, absolute respect between people is the biggest feature of Thais. You can see that people in Thailand worship each other like Buddha, instead of hugging and shaking hands like other countries. This is the embodiment of Thai people's respect for themselves and others.

For social phenomena, their principle is full understanding and respect, so as long as it is not a blatant illegal act, Thais usually do not take the initiative to intervene and blame. Therefore, Thai people always hold a tolerant attitude towards other people's sexual orientation and gender rights, and think that these are other people's rights, and do not interfere, comment or criticize according to their own worldview. Therefore, shemale is basically not discriminated against by society in Thailand.

Thailand is a country that pays more attention to traditional morality and etiquette. Most children begin to receive all kinds of etiquette and religious knowledge from primary school, and many schools also offer meditation classes.

Most primary schools are built in or near temples. Because the temple was responsible for the education of primary school students a hundred years ago, it has been inextricably linked with religion since primary school. A man who speaks loudly and behaves rudely will be considered an uneducated person. Although the level of economic development in Thailand is not very high, Thai people are far superior to other countries in personal education and quality of life.
