Today might be a sensitive topic to some but I must talk about it from my perspective as a ladyboy who dated men really early.  I do not regret having my first boyfriend when I was 17 but if I could turn back time, I could’ve waited more.  I know how it feels like to be in a disposition wherein my youthful energy made me feel like everything is possible.  Together with that disposition is a distant flight from reality.

If you’re a teenage ladyboy, don’t date men

There are a lot of pleasurable things in life and dating ladyboys are one of them.  I don’t want to differentiate ladyboys as we are women as well but it’s inevitable for some factors to differ.

My transition started when I was 16 years old so I am able to empathize how it’s like growing up with a “boy” lifestyle.  There are also some moments even up to this day that I can consider myself masculine (How I think).  I hope my thoughts don’t get misconstrued because scenarios change but I have a lot of ladyboy friends like me and it suffices to say that we have a lot in common.

What makes dating ladyboys different?

Dating is never easy but dating ladyboys is another story.

I am not sure of who you are and where you’re from but I know that it wasn’t an easy step for you to consider dating ladyboys openly. I’m a ladyboy and I’ve been through a lot with men so I know how discretion is vital to some.  You can date the most passable ladyboy on earth but there’s a nagging need from inside of you to figure out how everything’s going to work out.

Ladyboy Dating Dilemmas

I’m going to divide the problems by sections.  Please be aware that everything I will write here may or may not be relatable to you.

I just want you to know that there are some situations that you may feel are petty but to some, are life-threatening.

I’m the type of person who shows appreciation through giving gifts. If you’re like me but you don’t know what to give to the ladyboy you’re dating, then, by all means, keep reading.

There are 5 ways that a person shows love. Those are Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Giving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch. As an Aquarius, I’m not really good with words, physical touch, quality time, and acts of service.

So you’ve known this ladyboy you’ve been dating for quite some time now. I’m sure that you’re also aware of what she does for a living. It’s good to start with what she can use daily for work.

I don’t advise giving perfumes because we all have different preferences when it comes to scents. Stray away from skin care as well as we have different skin types. You don’t want your gift to be rotting on top of her vanity, don’t you? I know how it feels because a man gave me a set of luxury haircare and it’s literally expiring in my bathroom.

There are a lot of trivial matters which are mostly associated when it comes to ladyboys in Asia.
Most of the things talked about are how ladyboys are very feminine, “traps”, or other comical jokes to please the ignorant bigots.

Some even give out unoriginal disclaimers like “Ask for a birth certificate before you date women from Thailand” or “Be careful with the pretty girls from Asia”.

In fact, nobody needs irrelevant warnings and Asian ladyboys definitely don’t yearn for back-handed compliments. A birth certificate shouldn’t define someone’s real gender. There are ladyboys from Asia with male birth certificates but papers don’t define how amazing mothers some of them are.
