The lack of representation and diversity in traditional media can have a significant impact on mental health, particularly for individuals from marginalized communities. The perpetuation of unrealistic beauty standards can lead to feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, and depression.

One of the most significant issues with traditional media representation is the perpetuation of stereotypes. Ladyboys are often depicted as glamorous, feminine, and slender. While these characteristics are certainly a part of the ladyboy experience, they don't represent the entirety of the community.
