Jin Xing, Chinese Transgender Dancer, Defends Right To Perform

A Chinese Transgender Dancer Defends Her Right To Perform

In September, star Chinese dancer Jin Xing posted on her Weibo microblog account the news that she'd been banned from judging a television program because of her transsexual identity.

This decision was no doubt driven by the belief of many people in China think transsexuals should not appear in the media because they pose a moral threat to adolescents. Jin says this is pure prejudice caused by a lack of understanding and awareness. Her post drew wide support online.
