Photo on my avatar in my youth. I was young Katya. Kathoey, thai. - “the name of the third sex” in Thailand, consisting of transsexuals (men who change sex to female). They should be distinguished from transvestites who take on a feminine appearance, since katois strive to fully correspond to a feminine image. The concept of katy is quite broad - it describes men who demonstrate femininity in varying degrees - from clothes to use, as well as "women of the second type" who use hormone therapy for feminization. Regardless of the degree of feminization of the Kata, their sexual interests can be directed to men, women and other Katois. They say with a little irony that they are “real women” (as their choice of their gender is conscious) or “women of the highest grade”.
