I had been wondering exactly the same thing. So there seems to be a geographical thing - ladyboys tend to be Asian. makes sense having looked at one or two ladyboy/shemale sites

Yes, that's fairly spot on - however, I would think that the term ladyboy is also used outside Asia - to a lesser degree, though. Bear in mind also that the population percentage of trans*women appears to be higher in Asia than anywhere else. At least it's apparent that the trans*culture is more visual in Asia. But that's another issue...
