When I arrived the others looked askance at me as a flock of birds will look at a newcomer that has strayed into their midst
However when I related my story the Vice-President of their society Ma Sein and another homosexual named Than Tin Gyi took pity on me and took me to a place neat the win win cimema in Pansodan to see their Pesident sein ma ma there was only one other transvestite more powerful tjan sein ma ma and that was the wealthy ashar Guan
Sein mes ma Gyi greeted me warmlu saying come come saughter and made me feel welcome He questioned me closely and then commented thet o was still very green and inexperienced
He further detailed another transvestite to act as my instructor
This was a person of about my own age but of a fairer complexion
He was the son od an engineer who lived near the football grounds in syriam and was variously calld Miss sule Fromtier Queen sein Nyunt ans Awin
Under Awins tutelage I quickly leatned the art of coquetry and how to please a man in bed
I was also dressed up in pretty clothes and properly cared for by Sein Ma Ma Gyi
Before long I was put to work as a prostitute
I do not have any idea of how much money was paid for my services
I only know that I was enjoying the life
There were others who were not as brazen as we were about our feelings
They were those homosexuals who secretly indulged their tastes by coming to our houses and submitting to the male clients
I Know that wealthy Indians tended to pay very good fees for our services
Like women prostitutes we would sometimes be hired out
On order and on those occasions we were taken by car either to private houses or to places like the Inya lakes
After about six months of this kind of life I found that I had contracted syphilis
I gained admission to the Rangoon General Hospital with the help of an Assitant Surgeon who happened to be a homosexual too and was hospitalized for tow months before I was discharged as cured
When I returned home sein Ma Ma gave me a full set of jewellery all my clothes my bed- roll and kyat 500/- in cash and drove me from the house
Upon leaving sein Ma Ma I moved in with a trishawman who lived in Boundary Road
Within three months all my money was gone and the trishaw man too then drove me out I was forced to strike out on my own using the womanly wiles that I had been taught by Sein Nyunt alias Awin
