Understanding Transgender Issues

I hope to continue to make photographs of Ladyboys in Thailand in the coming year. I need to have a greater understanding of the issues surrounding people who live life in a transgender, cross dresser or transsexual way.

Have made some contacts with a local social/support cross dresser group. I will go meet these ladies this week to listen and learn. I am hopeful that I can make friends and begin to understand some of the dangers/prejudices and life challenges these people face, with some luck I should learn more which will help my Ladyboy photography.

If things go really well I might even be able to photograph some people locally.
