I am a photoblogger who documents pain , the only human emotion that touches each one of us from birth to death and irrespective of our caste color or community.

Pain is colorless and anomalous, tangible transient and permanent too depending from person to person and soul to soul.

Shooting the pain and struggle of a misplaced gender is tough issue at stake, I am not a psychiatrist nor a gay activist I am nothing shooting the nothingness of mind and soul as it assaults the human body.


What I shoot is a poem of life I shoot these youngsters who come here to Haji Malang to bond , to do penance and partake in Sufi spirituality, they are boys who are like young girls they are called Crossdressers and internationally known as ladyboys or katoeys.

Katoeys as per Wikipedia

Kathoey or katoey (Thai: ?????; RTGS: Kathoei;[ka?t???j]) is a male-to-female transgender person or an effeminate gay male in Thailand. Related phrases include sao (or phuying) praphet song (Thai: ????????????,"a second kind of woman"), or phet thi sam (Thai: ?????????, "third gender"). The word kathoey is thought to be of Khmer origin[1] (the equivalent Khmer word is "kteuy").[2] It is most often rendered as ladyboy in English conversation with Thais and this latter expression has become popular across South East Asia except in the Philippines where the term bakla[3] is often used.

The term "kathoey" is not an exact equivalent of the modern Western trans woman, in that "kathoey" suggests that the person self-identifies as a type of male, unlike the term sao praphet song, which (like "trans woman") suggests a female gender identity, or phet thi sam, which suggests a third gender. The term phu-ying praphet thi sorng, which can be translated as "woman of the second kind", is also used to refer to kathoey.[4] Australian scholar of sexual politics in Thailand Peter Jackson claims that the term "kathoey" was used in premodern times to refer to intersexuals, and that the usage changed in the middle of the twentieth century to cover cross-dressing males.[5] The term can refer to males who exhibit varying degrees of femininity – many kathoeys dress as women and undergo feminising medical procedures such as hormone replacement therapy, breast implants, buttock augmentation, genital reassignment surgery, or Adam's apple reductions. Others may wear makeup and use feminine pronouns, but dress as men, and are closer to the western category of effeminate gay man than transgender.

The term "kathoey" may be considered pejorative, especially in the form "kathoey-saloey". It has a meaning similar to the English language "fairy" or "queen".[6]

Kathoey work in predominately female occupations, such as in shops, restaurants and beauty salons, but also in factories (a reflection of Thailand's high proportion of female industrial workers).[7] Kathoey also work in entertainment and tourist centers, in cabaret – Alcazar and Tiffanys in Pattaya are among the best known – and as sex workers.

Kathoeys are more visible and more accepted in Thai culture than transgender or transsexual people are in Western countries or the Indian subcontinent. Several popular Thai models, singers and movie stars are kathoeys, and Thai newspapers often print photos of the winners of female and kathoey beauty contests side by side. The phenomenon is not restricted to urban areas; there are kathoeys in most villages, and kathoey beauty contests are commonly held as part of local fairs.

Some believe[who?] that this higher acceptance is due to the nature of the surrounding Buddhist culture, which places a high value on tolerance.[clarification needed] Using the notion of Karma, some Thai believe that being a kathoey is the result of transgressions in past lives, concluding that kathoey deserve pity rather than blame.[8]

A common stereotype is that older well-off kathoey provide financial support to young men with whom they are in a personal relationship.[9]

Kathoey women currently face many social and legal impediments. Families (and especially fathers) are typically disappointed if a son becomes a kathoey, and kathoey women often have to face the prospect of coming out. However, kathoey generally have greater acceptance in Thailand than most other Asian countries.[10] Legal recognition of kathoeys is non-existent in Thailand: even after genital reassignment surgery, they are not allowed to change their legal sex. Discrimination in employment remains rampant.[11] Issues can also arise in regards to access to amenities and gender allocation; for example, a kathoey who had undergone sexual reassignment surgery would still have to stay in an all-male prison.

If they don't have it, you don't want it. Dunn's has a delicious BBQ. I love their chicken salad, too. The onion rings are "real", and good. Actually, everything is. You either take out, or sit in your car. At how many places can you pull up, turn your lights on, and have someone bring your food to the car on one of those trays that hook to the window?

Today's Random Fact: When my college roomie came with her family from Albuquerque, we went here and she bought two bags of food the size of grocery bags. I think she bought one of everything. Brunswick stew to chicken livers. We just didn't have time to eat or even try it all.
