Ladyboys, TS,

[English Kate]

I've made a few friends who felt that they were living in the wrong body and have seen how traumatic it is when they have to jump through so many hoops before they are allowed to have the op. There are literally years of turmoil and hormonal, emotionally charged pain. No one goes through something like that lightly and I can't imagine how difficult it is, as it is largely a very insular experience, with most people not truely understanding.

Would I want to keep telling people that I used to be in the wrong body? No I wouldn't and I'd probably try and wipe the slate clean and start living my life the way I felt it always should have been.

With regards to Escorting. I don't think ladyboys or TS's should advertise as women, as that is not what they are, they are still essentially men. Push come to shove they should have their own category.
