They are explicitly living as women would, and present very feminine as shown

Degendering, or refusing to gender a trans person by only using neutral language such as they/them is an incredibly rude thing to do. It's the equivalent of two siblings going "I'm not ~~touching~~misgendering you!". Obviously in the course of conversation using they/them makes sense for everyone in certain sentences. But at a certain point it's just dehumanizing. I'm not non-binary, I'm a woman.

Next time your BF/GF is getting dressed up tell em how androgynous they are looking and see how well they take it...

I'm using the plural. Kathoey is both singular and plural in Thai. I would hope you'd also pick that up from "women".

I'm also being careful not to equate 1-1 the kathoey identity with the transwoman identity. They aren't the same, though the global conversation I am sure will eventually bring them closer.

You're correct on both points and that's my mistake.
