Short yet well done documentary highlighting the fact that the idea of " being born in the wrong body " is a shared feeling for all cultures across the world . So glad that she has found love , comfort and happiness as , like all humans , she deserves all of those things .❤

What shocked me is she risked everything to change gender in ultra conservative 70s China. That's crazy

[@jozephinetan3376]

She is very brave woman.

[@yvonnebrink9912]

I'm so confused....she had gender affirming surgery in the 70s and her husband never knew?? They don't even have that perfected today let alone back then when no one even heard of it...

[@sheluvssmokedupeyes1]

Do you know Asia is the place best place to go for a gender, reassignment surgery they’ve actually been doing it longer than America, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was developed in China and spread all over the rest of Southeast Asia in Korea that’s where a lot of people go to get gender reassignment surgeries because the plastic surgery is so much better over there, that what you heard of medical tourism

[@szszszsz95395]

She looks exactly like my elementary school teacher. She was Chinese-American. She Immigrated to the US in the 1950's with her parents as a child.

Setuju, transgender pada umumnya walaupun sudah operasi wajah berkali2 tetap sedikit banyak terlihat laki2nya, dan wanita ini tidak

Look at all the hand flapping. Only AMAB who transition get that much applause. Women born AFAB are invisible.

[@Baphomet-tk5qs]

Trans men China are invisible because they look like cis men. Trans women would retain masc traits so easily spotted.

[@wsnt]

The fact you yourself is mentioning children in a topic that never said anything about them is concerning

[@katherinstaci]

you're braindead.

[@Evertruth28]

People in the medical profession should be charged with child abuse and lose their licenses to practice medicine for life. This defies commonsense at its apex! DNA's infallibility is sacrosanct!

[@ClaireMunich]

There is no mention of children in this video. No one is voicing support for the "transitioning" of children. I share your concerns about children but adults are allowed to live their lives in the way that will make them the most happy and fulfilled.

[@Baby-zd2pk]

@@Evertruth28 In my country, there is no such thing as children transition as much as hrt or srs is concerned, which I think is good. Access to hrt is not readily available, esp for children, let alone srs. What I usually see here is boys dressing up girly, and that's about it. It's more about tolerance and letting gay kids have fun, but of course, not disregarding some kids getting physically abused by parents esp fathers who do not agree to them being gay or become "trans". There is no indoctrination from trans people as most DO NOT agree to get srs early bc they are aware of the risks. For those who successfully had srs, advises start from typical "think about it many times.. do it when u are fully ready physically, mentally, financially.. research about it.. watch videos about it" and the like. I've seen some videos discuss the maintenance, sensation, and whatnot to give analysis to "aspirants." While I agree that no one can change our DNA, chromosomes, whatever and I share the same thoughts of u about children, this particular documentary was not promoting nor showing any child abuse. The subject is an adult who shared her life story. I get ur point about the practitioners however, this is also a medical condition, it requires medical attention so maybe the law should make it 20 or 23 yo before anyone can proceed not minors or children even with parental consent. I think we can all agree everyone deserve the life of happiness. Not every one like her has reached the fulfilled life. Life is too short for anyone to deprived themselves and not escape from their own traps when they have the opportunity. Their DNA is least of my concern. Why would it be my problem when the person is happy? I'd rather be grateful that I am not experiencing their issues and try to be more understanding even to things that makes no sense to me(biologically), psychologically it's not that hard to understand they want to live a female life.
