If you were to commission a statue of the Ladyboy God, what would it look like?

Buddhism, the dominant religion of the "ladyboy" heartland (Thailand, Laos, Cambodia), has a complicated relationship with the third gender. However, in the Vinaya Pitaka (the monastic code), the Buddha accepted pandaka (a term covering queer, trans, and eunuch identities) into the sangha, though later commentaries restricted them.

In Thai culture, kathoey (often referred to as ladyboys) are sometimes viewed as a "third gender" with roots in Buddhist philosophy.
