Transssexual porn experts:

In order to be a LADYBOY, is that specifically referring to Asian TS's?

Can a white or black ts be a Ladyboy?

It's generally referred to as Thais. An Asian TS in the USA (or other country) wouldn't really thank you for referring to them as a ladyboy.
This is not specifically a porn word, it is used in Thailand when they refer to transsexuals to foreigners.

Technically a person of any race could be a ladyboy, but it is usually used to describe Asian TS's.

I've seen it used on the net to describe any Asian TS. I did not know it was specific to just Thais.

It's became generic for all Asians and probably was used in Singapore, Shanghai, and the other old ports where the boys were working as girls.

I've met filipino transsexual women who called themselves ladyboys, it is just regional slang for transsexual.

Thai TS who are post-op generally don't like to be called ladyboys, they will tell you that they are ladies...

any preop could be called a ladyboy.. its no different than the terms used in various countries.. brazil like the term Travesties .. in england though that would offend most TS asi would be deemed a TV ... much like in england Tgirl is quite accepted but yet not favoured by others ...

I just think all these terms, ladyboy,shemale,tranny,travesties all mean the same thing .. I have used the term ladyboy quite a few times in some marketing stuff for myself ..

Phobun is correct but I would like to tadd most post ops I have met dont want to be refered to as TS at all anymore and many go out of there way to distance themselves from the scene.
