Riff-Raffles Katoey Contest Winners!
We have now reached the closing date of our competition and the results show that none of you who entered should feel any better or worse than any of the others — except Martin. Fortunately I have met Martin several times and his beautiful girlfriend Nid — at least he got it right once!Â
The top scores, being marks out of 10, are as follows:
John 7
Gus 7
JF Â 7
Oy 6
Steel Rain 6
Peter 6
Martin 4Â
I will be delighted to send a copy of Riff-Raffles to John, Gus, JF, Oy and Steel Rain. Peter who would have qualified for a copy already has one, so Martin will receive his copy. The winners will be contacted for their postal address by the site administrator and I will put up a message on here letting you all know what day they have been mailed out.
This was, as far as I am concerned, a little bit of harmless amusement and was not intended to make fun of anyone of any gender. I think, though, what it has proved is that some transsexuals can look every bit as feminine as biological women and distinguishing one from the other can be almost impossible. Through the process of researching this competition and the subject of transsexuals I have come to change the way I view these people. I used to think firmly of Katoeys as men, but now I am minded to feel that if someone believes they are a woman, dresses as if they were a woman, undergoes surgery to enhance their feminine characteristics then they are a woman and should be regarded as such.
Anyway thanks to all of you who popped in for a look at the Blog whilst the competition was running and especially to those of you who took the time to enter.
To conclude this episode I have listed all twenty pictures below in order of the number of votes received as being biological women, if you hold you mouse over each picture it will tell you whether this person was born as a boy or a girl. I am certain, that like me, you will be amazed that three of your top 5 were boys!!

I am presently writing a few more stories which will appear on the Blog over the next week. I can assure you life has not been all peace and quiet over the last couple of weeks so please check back soon to catch up with the latest happenings at Jasmine Mansion and my life in Thailand in general.

Yay! I think it’s the first time in my life I’ve won something.
I haven’t rec’d an email yet from the admin… should I just be patient?

Hi there Steel Rain! I’ve sent you an email and when Kevin gets back he’ll have a book out to you shortly.
John and Oy your books are on their way. JF same for you although a friend heading back to UK this weekend will post it when he gets home. Martin is coming in to pick up his copy from Jasmineso one remaining address I calculate - Gus where are you?
Yes, I sent my address to you once I had the e-mail saying I had won a book. I live in the UK, will send my address again then when a UK guy comes back he can post it here.
I will not be over for a couple of months or so.
Gus, sorry but your original mail never reached me although I have now received your e-mail and sent you a reply - the book will be posted to you on Monday. Thanks for participating and congratulations.
all my best wishes,
kevin
