I've long heard that Thailand is famous for its ladyboys, but today, I ended up watching a cabaret show in Pattaya myself. Due to a lack of internet connection when I was out of the hotel, I was actually unable to confirm my suspicions that all the dancers were trans until the show actually began.

Lo and behold, I spent 20 minutes peering intently at cleavage, ass and throats in an attempt to figure out if they were guys in dresses, to little avail. To add to my confusion, their were normal male dancers present too, making me wonder whether I was wrong and the ones who looked like women, moved like women and had booties like women were actual women.

Eventually, I achieved nirvana by meditating on the wise words of a sage from 4chan:

"I'm straight, so whatever makes my dick hard is a woman."

Enlightened, I simply laid back and enjoyed the show, trying not to get too embarrassed when a performer in clear drag went around giving the gents in the front row a cop of her tig ol bitties. After all, I was with my elderly Indian parents (they did know what they were in for!).

Once outside, there was an opportunity to gawk at the dancers from up close, and even take photos with them if you had more money than sense. I stared like a hawk, but I genuinely couldn't differentiate them from women all the way up close. The usual suggestions, like checking for bulges, Adam's apples and the like, all failed me.

So I simply shrugged and went back to the hotel, where I finally managed to access Google and found out all the feminine dancers were women after all.

Huh, I guess you need to be a thin Thai boy with a boobjob and thicc thighs to pass convincingly, all the lanky ass MTFs from the West take note, you'd get much more support from red-blooded conservatives if you could pull that off!

This makes me wonder of the potential missed opportunities from guys thinking some of the Thai women being a potential ladyboy. Honestly, I could see it happening to myself.

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
