It is common to hear in everyday language the terms Ladyboy, Shemale, Trans and Transvestite. These expressions often lead to confusion or to consider them otherwise. To dispel any misunderstanding as to their true meaning, we invite you to discover everything about these expressions here.
What is a ladyboy?
Ladyboy refers to a transgender person, including a gay woman or man approaching an effeminate appearance. Indeed, it is important to understand the difference between these terms. A ladyboy presents a particular appearance, thus making use of a physiognomy contrary to his natural character.
For this purpose, he dressed like a woman. In addition, he resorts to medical treatment to have a feminine appearance. He can, among other things, implant mammary glands and inject silicone. There are many dating sites dedicated and specialized for the LGBTQ community, to find the love that will fulfill you.
What is a Shemale?
Shemale derives from the terms “she” and “male” which refer to a transgender person. It is usually attributed to a man who has undergone feminizing hormone therapy resulting in:
- Breast development,
- Reduction in muscle mass
- Redistribution of its fat.
This usually involves removing all male hair, without undergoing surgery for the transformation of the genital tract. However, some resort to a medical operation resulting in a change of sex.
What is a transexual?
A transsexual is someone who feels uncomfortable with their original sexuality. She identifies in particular with the opposite gender and feeds the permanent desire to migrate there through medical assistance. This results in sex reassignment therapies which commonly result in genital transformation surgery.
In addition, there is confusion between a transsexual person and another transgender person. The difference lies in the fact that the transgender, without changing sex, adopts an appearance opposite to his gender. On the other hand, the other changes his body and his genitalia.
What is a transvestite?
A transvestite person adopts behaviors, even sexual ones, that are gender-opposite to that of their birth. He therefore wears accessories and other clothes which are generally attributed to the sex opposite to his own. This in order to voluntarily resemble a man or a woman.
This phenomenon is seen in both genders, but is commonly seen in males. These are mostly considered heterosexuals. However, the transvestite can change their appearance for fun intent without affecting their sexual orientation.
