TS(Transsexual) life in Dubai
http://www.transpinayworld.com/2009/10/ ... -in-dubai/
UAE is a Muslim country although the state of Dubai is more open than other states of UAE like Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. These are very strict as they are under the rule of Saudi Arabia which is very religious, they called homosexuals as a devil (or Haram- forbidden in English), I found it hypocritical in a way as many Arab men seem to be attracted to ‘ladyboys’ -that’s what they call us!
When it comes to relationships and love it is really an advantage for TS. Arab men are really serious when it come to love and relationship matters because it is not easy for them to mingle with women or to have a relationship or a girlfriend, they have to buy the woman first (giving a dowry to the brides’ family) before they can touch them. Arab men once they get a TS will do anything to have you, they are very serious on relationships just to have a feminine ladyboy with them. The sad part is that it has to be discreet, and have to be very careful in public not to get noticed.
