Reviews

Examines kathoey through biology, sociology, sexuality, culture, religion, economics and their own gossipy anecdotes, and puts them in the context of other Animist cultures.
*Time Out*

From Samoan to Native American, men who choose to live as women are a part of many Asian and indigenous cultures. The Third Sex by Richard Totman explores the history of what Thais call kathoey.
*Gay Times*

The three personal stories he tells, each moving in its own way...which Totman tells with sensitivity and insight...He is nothing if not thorough. Personally, I found some of the historical and cultural references more revealing...alternately entertaining and poignant.
*Literary Review*
