Transvestite prostitutes of Fuzhou

from_ewsn_netease.jpg
The prolific ESWN has translated a short news item from Netease:
In Fuzhou, the police decided to run a sting operation against prostitutes that evening. An undercover policeman showed up at the Guangminggang park. Two "women" then approached him and propositioned him. The militia police quickly charged in. When one of the "women" was arrested, a wig fell off. The suspect quickly explained: "I'm a man." Although the two men looked and sounded like women, their fake boobs fell off as soon as they pulled up their shirts.

It seems that the boys were not looking for customers who like but transvestites, but merely pretending to be women. Which raises a question:

Is China the only country in the world where even the prostitutes might be fake?

no...womenized male prostitutes are in many other countries, only in these other countries, the public has knowledge about it unlike in china i suppose

"Is China the only country in the world where even the prostitutes might be fake?"

Have you ever heard of a little place called... Thailand?

[EDITOR'S NOTE: (JG): Er, yes, but don't customers of Thailand's lady boys actually want lady boys?]
