Although the number of ‘ladyboys’ is found more in Thailand it’s not that the countries have any fewer ladyboys. It’s just that Thailand is more accepting when it comes to the LGBT community. Moreover, Thailand has Buddhism as its most dominant religion. In Buddhism, they are considered as ‘third sex’ and that is not because of choice but because of the sins that they have committed in their past lives. Thus, Buddhism sympathizes with them and therefore is very empathetic towards them.
