Could you give us some references for this? Thailand has a long history of ladyboys/Katoeys.

Of course Thailand boasts a hefty heritage for Kathoeys. My concern was whether our donations to Nok or Tiffany's Jewelry would help Transgendered individuals that weren't interested in SRS? It's not that Nok has bad intentions with her lottery, but I'd like to think that contributions or purchases from Tiffany's helps all, and not just those that seek surgery.
SRS is a wonderful option for those that seek it, but shouldn't Tiffany's award a cash option for all instead?
Many ladyboys just need plain old financial help, and I fail to see why those whom are not seeking SRS should be excluded. Are they less of a lady?

Thanks. I wasn't aware of any of this.
