berdache man to woman

berdache is a term used for men who take on female roles in Native American cultures. Actually, the practice of transforming little boys to girls is popular in Thailand a while ago. With poor families who don't have money, their parents would inject woman hormones to little boys, and doing that continuously over a long period, when they grow up, those little boys look like girls. i think it interesting how little boys can be transformed to little girls and that have an impact on society. poor families like this in ancient china also cut boys's reproductive organs to send them to palace where they can not have an affair with the king's women but remain sexually inactive until they die. Medically, that have a large harmful effect on the male's bodies, bring them to die in a young age. Secretly, some women in the palace never see the king in their lives anyway, because the kings have at leat thousands of women and it were always those particular ones who were liked by the king, so the solution to the outcome of the problem of loneliness and isolations are that some women started to have affairs with those men without sexual orientated organs. when they get caught, of course all of their families and friends can be killed.
But I just think it's such a crucial experience in such undeveloped countries that such exerciese was performed.
