A reasonably systematic study of kathoeys, combining sociological and ethnographic techniques. The author does some creative dramatizing that I thought detracted from the utility of the book and slid it over to a more sensationalistic genre. Read with the Thai section of [b:War in the Blood: Sex Politics and AIDS in Southeast Asia|257642|War in the Blood Sex, Politics and AIDS in Southeast Asia|Chris Beyrer|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173208551s/257642.jpg|249702] for a better understanding of kathoeys' historically rather grim HIV statistics.

Through the lives of three kathoey, male transvestites, this introduction to transgender in Thailand places a cultural, historical, religious, biological, and psychological emphasis on international traditions of sexuality. A fascinating anthropological and sociological exploration, the context of transgender is detailed through the challenges and joys found in Manat, Lek, and Akorn as they travel through the social rites of passage to become kathoeys. As a part of the cultural landscape of Thailand, the kathoeys are a modern expression of an archaic tradition, and through these personal stories a wider discussion of transgender and the existence of a "third sex" in international societies emerges.
