Transvestite prostitutes of FuzhouPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Sunday, November 19, 2006 at 12:36 PM
 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? The Netease story and source of the above image is here. |

+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Comments on Transvestite prostitutes of Fuzhou
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?]
