No, not exactly - "lady boys" is a common term for transsexual prostitutes in Thailand and few other places known for sex tourism. I've heard stories of men using their services - either knowingly, or supposedly inadvertently, but never about women.
And I wasn't all that interested in the answer - I was just asking a stupid question, in order to match the tone of the thread... But thanks anyway.
I recognized the tone of thread and your comment being in line with that. And yet it still stung to hear 'ladyboys' so I had to say something. Just like if I had used the N word (which in some places of the world is still used and accepted), you might get affronted at hearing me say that. In any case I just automatically revert to educating when people use terms like 'lady boys'. No worries!

Well done Luckie.
Now that you are free from religious dogmas why not continue your struggle to total freedom and peace of mind?
The journey to total freedom is long and arduous.
Freedom from religious dogmas are just a step forward.
More obstacles will have to be overcome.
What?! There's more obstacles to overcome now??!
What a downer. What are these obstacles? Do I need special five-toe shoes to get me through them or are my regular tennis shoes ok? Also, how would you know these obstacles when you yourself practice religion?

Fantastic post, couldn't agree more, of course.
And don't worry - I don't find it difficult or complicated at all to understand that a transgender female is a female like any other, and a transgender lesbian is a lesbian like any other. I find the whole 'transgender' thing very easy to grasp.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
