We have good friends who are transsexual, I've never had a problem with the choices people make in their lives.
I do find the stereotypes funny though, to be a hairdresser in the Phils you either have to be a woman or be gay, the proportion of ordinary male heterosexual barbers seems to be vanishingly small

and most of the women in the salons seem to only work in manicure/pedicure.
I know it's a bit of a cliché here in the UK too but I knew plenty of straight male barbers in the UK and a good few
camp but straight male hairdressers.
In the Phils camp is almost always gay and gay is often surgically altered transsexual! Wild place!
They are generally good stage entertainers though
