Kathoey

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Kathoey or katoey (Thai: กะเทย; RTGS: Kathoei;) is a male-to-female transgender person or an effeminate gay male in Thailand. Related phrases include sao (or phuying) praphet song (Thai: สาวประเภทสà¸Â-ง,"a second kind of woman"), or phet thi sam (Thai: เพศทสาม, "third gender"). The word kathoey is thought to be of Khmer origin (the equivalent Khmer word is "kteuy"). It is most often rendered as ladyboy in English conversation with Thais and this latter expression has become popular across South East Asia except in the Philippines where the term bakla is often used. "Bakla," is a term applied to Filipino homosexuals and transsexuals in general. In the Philippines, unlike in many Western countries, almost all transsexuals consider themselves to be gay, and so they often call themselves by the English word "ladyboy" because it indicates a distinction which is not made by the Tagalog words.
