ladyboy

And why is suggesting that someone being shocked to discover a ladyboy transphobic anyway?

> when basically every ladyboy self-identifies as a ladyboy.

The good news is as of now ladyboy doesn't have any competition.

I reckon for ladyboy the USP (if any) is going to be it being open and NOT chrome (or derivative).

If I'd brought up Thailand, they wouldn't even have known enough to make ladyboy jokes.

> ladyboy This doesn't mean what you think it means.

(Unless you woke up naked in a drug induced stupor in a ladyboy’s room in Pattaya 2 days after an all-nighter) hahaha.

Tiwi is a gendered language, and has three genders (kirri - male, makirri - female, rraga - ladyboy), as well as a fourth tense that is used for gender-neutral terms (ramiya).

The upshot of that, though, is that you'll never have a 25-year-old manager-favorite ladyboy hipster douche barking orders at you (which I have seen demolish a startup or two).

Like people being angry about calling Thai ladyboys “ladyboys” and not “women”, when basically every ladyboy self-identifies as a ladyboy.

If you were to ask a child of the Tiwi tribe what one of their ladyboys are, today, man or woman, they would answer "ladyboy".

I hope they change the name of the browser at some point, it sounds vaguely promiscuous (maybe because "ladyboy" is the closest word to it).

The economics of prostitution (supply-demand) basically mean many of them choose to assume a role as a ladyboy for a while, and when that part of their life is over they just cut their hair, stop using make-up and high heels and back to the "respected" society.
