[[File:Kathoey flag.png|thumb|The kathoey flag.|alt=|220x220px]]'''Kathoey''' or '''Katoey''' ('''กะเทย''') ('''Ladyboy''' in English conversations) is a gender identity used by some people in Thailand. In English their identities may be best described as [[transgender]] women in some cases or effeminate [[gay]] men in other cases. [[Transfeminine]] people in Thailand mostly use terms other than kathoey when referring to themselves, such as ''phuying'' (Thai: ผู้หญิง 'woman'), with very few referring to themselves as kathoey. A significant number of Thais perceive kathoey as belonging to a separate sex, including some transfeminine people themselves. |
