What is a Ladyboy?
A ladyboy is the name given to a person who has male genitalia but lives outwardly as a woman. However, a ladyboy may also live as a woman without male geniatalia if she has had sex reassignment surgery, commonly called a sex change operation. A ladyboy is a transsexual or transgender. This is different to a transvestite which is a man who dresses as a woman on some occasions. In some cases, especially when the individual is still young, perhaps even before they are in their teenage years, a ladyboy may dress as a woman on occasions until they are confident enough to completely “come out” as a transsexual or transgender.
