“When I see my parents’ smiles and know they are happy. My father is a policeman. My brother is a ladyboy like me. In the past, my parents didn’t accept who we are and we had to show them that being a ladyboy doesn’t mean you are a bad person. Now, my parents accept us and call us ‘daughter.’ We even dress like a woman at home. We are happy with who we are, and this wider acceptance makes us happiest.”
