The LadyBoys of Bangkok are touring NI at the moment. Its always suprised me that for such an unprogressive place, the LBKs have always had a warm welcome. You'll see their adverts and posters up everywhere, shops inside and out.
I often wonder if a dance troop of Irish trannys would get the same kind promotion? Probably not, because most wouldn't pass. But these dudes seem to get a bi ball and definitely appeal to a cohort of straight men who wouldn't otherwise give anything LGB a second thought.
I always think Blanchard gives these dudes waaaay too much sympathy though. They may be a caveat of heterosexuality, but it's such a superficial, appearance driven form that it's a danger to women. These men would shag the barber's floor if it hair and lipstick on it.
