history of t girl scene in Brazil

[templek]

just wanted to know how did the t girl scene in Brazil start? I know in Thailand the 'third sex' was always part of the culture and history. But in Brazil following the portuguese conquest and migratiions of various different cultures and people, when did it start? Was it a post war thing? Or came out of the carnival masqurerade thing which is part of Brazil culture? Did the brazil plastic surgery trade owe a lot to the t girl or carnival scene, which help to kick start it?

Just wondered

I really dont know how its starts in Brazil, many theories are made, but none find the answer for our questions. The answer,may be the water. Sorry for this joke, but the matter of fact is, mystery.

I once asked one of my Brasilian photographer friends the same question and he pretty much said the same thing...he didnt know when the phenomenon began nor why,just that since he was old enough to remember the trannys were always there working the same streets for decades.

VERY VERY interesting question. It's probably a combination of factors like, being sexually free, plenty of hormones available and the society plus other things .... I had the same question with a different angle. It was: Why are Brazil's trannies, in average, so damn superior to every other country in the whole world when neither their men or women are superior to others though they aren't inferior either! I was told it's the early hormones but it doesn't make sense because if it was mainly the early hormones they would not have ALSO the greatest erections and ejaculations!!! It would only explain their softness, etc. Any thoughtful comments?

It's been part of the world since ancient times. If anything, it's always been there. And here. And everywhere. In many cultures the transgendered were considered shamans, the wise ones to go to for guidance.

IT'S A PLOT BY THE CIA!!

Actually I have no idea myself. I've also wondered how it is that Brazilian t-ladies (and t-ladies around the world increasingly) can take estrogen to become so wonderfully feminine and yet be just as functional as most men. (Not that I'm complaining, of course.)

It is the early hormones. Dany Evangelista is on record as saying she started at age 9 (yes 9, not 19) and I know of others who say they started around that age. I believe it's very common. The key would appear to be that they began hormones before or around the time they hit puberty. The body is really receptive to hormonal input at that stage. While the hormone regime was probably self-prescribed and haphazard, it had a huge effect because of their age.
