一位跨性別者的生命故事

A life story of transgender

我沒有能力選擇我出生時的性別,

但我選擇了成為一個怎麼樣的人!

I cannot choose my sex being born. 

But I can be the kind of person I chose!


過往的我,曾經努力的去飾演一位男生…

跨性別資源中心創辦人及主席

Founder and Chairperson of Transgender Resource Center

簡介
Joanne出生於香港,原生性別為男,經歷了四十多年的身份掙紮,終於在2009年在港進行了性別轉換手術,正式將所有身份證明文件更改為女性,但仍堅持接納自己的跨性別身份及愛女性的情欲,努力於跨性別群體內做支援工作。2006年起,一直積極參與香港各大學院於性別課題之分享,至今已舉辦及參與過近三百場的講座及工作坊。又於電台、電視台、雜志等媒體接受訪問,將積極正面之跨性別與及同志基督徒身份呈現於公眾面前。
2008年成立跨性別資源中心並任主席至今,致力於香港推動跨性別運動,以教育為基楚出發,為社會人士及跨性別社群提供資訊及資源,幫助社會加深認識跨性別議題,及讓跨性別人士得到應有之協助及權益。除了LGBT權益外,Joanne更希望為香港的弱勢出一分力,在政策層面做更多的推動。2015年加入了香港民主黨,更於2016年參與立法會黨內初選。
Joanne 於2012年被香港的Baccarat時尚生活雜誌選為「四十五位四十五歲以下令香港帶來改變的人士」。2014年獲HER Fund頒首屆「她。敢於改變」奬項,同年於日內瓦向聯合國反映香港跨性別歧視狀況,為首位華人以跨性別身份發言。2017年被美國領事館(香港及澳門)提名國際勇敢女性獎,於三月被邀到華盛頓出席興祝活動。
Joanne was born as a boy in Hong Kong and completed her Sex Reassignment Surgery in 2009 after struggling for over 40 years. Yet she still insists to claim herself as a Transgender Lesbian even after she has acquired her legal sex as a female. She is now a public figure in the LGBT movement devoted to the supporting works in the community as well as advocacy for LGBT rights in Hong Kong and Mainland China.
She founded Transgender Resource Center (TGR) in 2008 and have been the chairperson since then. The aim of the organization is promoting public understanding and acceptance regarding the transgender community, and to provide resources and support for transgender people.
In 2012, Joanne has been selected one of the "45 People aged 45 or below making a difference in Hong Kong" by Baccarat Magazine and in 2013 she has also been granted the “She dare to change” Award by HER Fund. In 2016, Joanne has taken a big step forward in the LGBT movement by joining the Democratic Party as the first transgender politician in Hong Kong and participated in the Legislative Council pre-election trying to push for change not only for LGBT people.
In 2017, the U.S. Consulate Hong Kong and Macau has selected Joanne as this year’s nominee for the Secretary’s International Women of Courage Award honoring women who have demonstrated exceptional courage, strength, and leadership in acting to improve others' lives.
