"Zhuan, 19-Year-Old Tragic Beauty (Alias) Deceived into Becoming a Transgender in Thailand, Body Changes Force Her to Accept Fate"

Southern Metropolis Daily: To make life a little better for his mother, a 19-year-old boy was deceived into becoming a trans woman in a foreign country.

Netizen: Hello. Can we chat for a bit? I want to tell you my story.

Southern Hotline: Of course.

Netizen: I am a trans woman.

Southern Hotline: Really? Why do you say that?

Netizen: Yes. You won't mind, right? Do you know Thailand?

Southern Hotline: Of course I don't mind. Yes, I know.

Netizen: I am Chinese, born in a remote village. When I was seven, my father abandoned my mother and me. My mother struggled with me to survive. One day, to make a living, my mother had no choice but to take me to a nameless city, but without any skills, she could not provide for us. Once, when we were wandering the streets, a man wanted me to go to a dance school, saying I could make a living from it in the future. At that time, my mother disagreed.

Southern Hotline: How old was your mother then?

Netizen: At that time, to make life easier for my mother, so she wouldn't suffer so much, I agreed to go with that man to the dance school. He gave my mother some money and told her to return to the village, saying he would take care of me. My mother still did not agree. I could not bear to see my mother suffer again, so I sent her back. I was only seven then. So I stayed there with that uncle. Later, I realized he was the leader of a performance troupe, and I started learning dance from him. My mother often came to see me. Using the money the uncle gave, my mother raised some pigs at home, and life got a little better, which relieved me. When I was nine, the uncle took me back to my mother, saying I was ready to perform and he wanted to take me abroad for shows. My mother firmly refused, and I did not want to leave her either. But if I didn't go, my mother would have no money, and without money, she would suffer again. I told my mother it was okay, let me go. In truth, I was very scared and did not want to leave my mother, but I told myself that to keep my mother from suffering, I had to be strong. I did not cry that day. Later, I found out that I had gone to Thailand. Once there, they gave me some medicine and taught me to sing girls' songs and wear skirts. If I refused, I was beaten until I was covered in scars. Later, I learned I was called a “kathoey.”

Southern Hotline: You have endured a lot for your mother. How many years have you been away?Netizen: It's been more than ten years. I tried to run away, but I was caught again. Later, my body also changed, and I had no choice but to accept my fate...
Nanguo Hotline: Friend, I sincerely bless you. Believe that everything will get better, please don't be so sad!
Netizen: Okay, thank you. I will chat with you again tomorrow.
Reporter's Postscript: This netizen's experience is really sympathetic. For the sake of his mother, he gave up things that ordinary people simply cannot give. I sincerely wish him and his mother happiness, joy, and lifelong health! [Edited on: 2013-3-31 14:52:09] [Edited on: 2013-3-31 14:5
