Informationen zum Autor Peter A Jackson, Gerard Sullivan Klappentext Lady Boys, Tom Boys, Rent Boys: Male and Female Homosexualities in Contemporary Thailand explores Thailand's diverse sexual population, including male sex workers, "toms" (masculine Thai lesbians), "dees" (feminine-identified women who have relations with other women), "kathoeys" (males that dress like women and wear make-up), and "lady boys" (transsexual or transvestite males). This book examines the needs of this population and suggests culturally sensitive intervention methods. Relating Thai customs and society to sexuality, the editors also reveal the emotional difficulties experienced by these individuals who live in a country often mistaken for a gay paradise.
