I always remember my brother, who was in the Royal Navy at the time, bringing home a colour photograph that he and his mates took of a "Ladyman" (that's what they were referred as) in Boogey Street, Singapore. These Ladymen charged to have their photograph taken in the street, which in turn helped towards the cost of the operations for their change.My brother and mates couldn't believe what they were seeing. (remember, this was 45 years ago and nothing like this was known here).
I do remember that I was only in my twenties at the time and I stood looking at this photo in bewilderment and yes, envy!! this oriental young man had completed his transformation (to the beholders' eyes) and looked an absolute beauty. I would have defied anyone to tell that he was not born a natural woman. Slim, in a tight-fitting dress, lovely natural breasts with cleavage, long slender stockingless legs, shoulder-length glossy black hair, make-up low-key and flawless,and with the looks and beauty of any of the models (Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton) at the time.
Perhaps they could let the modern day gender changers into their secrets of how to do it correctly. It certainly shocked me.
