ELI5:Why are there so many transgender people in Thailand?

And Brazil too?  
EDIT: Thanks for all the answers. So, it's mainly a culture thing where they are more accepted therefore being more open about it.

It may sound odd to Western ears but in Thailand many people believe in a third gender, called Kathoey, or Lady Boys. For whatever reason, Thailand has been greatly accepting of this identity(there's really no consensus as to why). A lot of Lady Boys have found great success doing entertainment shows and the like. So, a lot of people who are transgendered go there because they are more accepting of them.
