onnagata
An onnagata is a Japanese term for a female impersonator.
Onnagata also refers to male kabuki characters who played female parts.
From the medieval period to the 19th century in Japan, various men practised shudo, which is age-structured homosexuality. Because of this, many onnagata moonlighted as prostitutes.
Today, shonen-ai and yaoi are existing types of male homosexuality.
