Adverts here are signed in several different words: shemale escort, TS, transsexual, ladyboy escort, transgender, crossdresser. They look like near-equivalents and they are not. Most of them describe one and the same woman, differing in who says the word and where. One of them means something else, and a man who misses that either skips a woman who suited him or writes to one who never could.
Nearly everyone expects the meaningful gap to sit somewhere among shemale, TS and ladyboy. It does not. Those point at one type of woman through several vocabularies, and the gap that changes who you meet sits further along.
| If her advert says | What you are looking at | What to ask her |
|---|---|---|
| TS, transsexual, shemale, ladyboy, transgender | one kind of woman, described in several vocabularies | nothing about the type; go straight to the evening |
| CD, crossdresser | a different kind of woman in the same section | whether she lives as a woman or dresses for the booking |
A crossdresser is advertising a presentation instead of a life lived as a woman, and the distinction is practical instead of delicate. A transgender escort books her evening as the woman she already is. A crossdresser dresses for that evening, and what she offers is built around it. Both advertise side by side here, and a man who takes CD as a gentler synonym for the rest has missed the only real division among these women.
You will not find it written down. The 315 profiles advertising here at from HK$ 1,800 to HK$ 2,750 are gathered under one heading, and none of the six words is attached to any of them individually. So the only place the distinction appears is in the first message, and it takes one line to settle.
Nobody here does that asking for you. Landed on this page by accident? Every other escort in Hong Kong is a click away. Next door the words do the same job with a different vocabulary: men advertising in Hong Kong settle it with active, versatile and passive.
