they are called Kathoeys
Kathoeys are more visible and more accepted in Thai culture than
transgender or
transsexual people are in Western countries or the
Indian subcontinent
Some believe that this higher acceptance is due to the nature of the surrounding Buddhist culture, which places a high value on tolerance. Using the notion of
Karma, some Thai believe that being a kathoey is the result of transgressions in
past lives, concluding that kathoey deserve pity rather than blame.

Buddhist culture, > U see Buddhism is NOT an Infidel religion like others
it gives main priority to world's truth rather than some laws written by god or any messengers.
so remember Buddhism is just a guide or a philosophy, and a great ,freedom religion.
u can do whatever you want but it's upto you.!
