Why does Brazil have so many TS's

[liisawinklergirl]

i think it's the high level of tolerance in their society although acceptability is still a question otherwise there would be transsexuals in the higher echelons of their societies...

Well as far as the tolerance goes Brazilian tgurls are a lot more well-adjusted than American tgurls. They don't pretend or shove their dumb childhoods down people's throats. They're much eaiser for society to tolerate because they are genuinely cool, not like dizzy bimbo attention whores in America lol.

I dont know about that...from what I have read, ts's in Brazil face way more discrimination then in any other country. They are almost forced into isolation, living and socializing only with other ts's. And like 99% of them are street walkers or work at a brothel because they dont have the opportunity to do anything else for a living. With the cream of the crop getting sent to Europe to work in more expensive brothels by their pimps. (all our favorite brazilian ts pornstars are most likely in the prostitution industry) I have read numerous social science reports on this...anyone know anything about this first hand?

I think the reason is probably a combination of factors including culture (eg Thailand), poverty (eg Brazillian favelas),free or cheap hormones (eg Brazil) and hormones introduced into the food chain through factory farming (eg Thailand has a big factory farmed chicken industry, but I don't know if they are using growth homones). There are plenty of TS's in quite a few South American and Asian countries, so perhaps there's a link with factory farmed food full of hormones, as when US beef was banned from Europe for using growth homones, Asia and South America became it's markets.

The answer is easy as pie.....

Brazilians love SEX - unlike the sex prison which is the US

I'm not really sure how Brazil's medical system works, but I know and I've heard from girls in Mexico that its easy to walk into a pharmacy and just buy hormones at a young age. I t hink it's the widespread and easy availability of hormones in these countries that leads more younger transgirls to transition. Also as a way to escape the poverty

...I wish Paulistano would weigh in on this...I will ask him to...

Simply put they always have had a place in latin culture.
