Joanne Leung Wing-yan [1] is the first openly transgender politician in Hong Kong. Assigned male at birth, she underwent sex-reassignment surgery in 2009 in order to become legally recognized as a woman. She was the chairperson of Pink Alliance[1][2] until 2017 and is the founder and chairperson of Transgender Resource Center (TGR),[3][4] two active non-governmental organizations that aim to service the LGBT community and promote LGBT equality. Leung identifies as a transgender lesbian.[5] BiographyLeung has stated that she first knew she should physically be a girl at the age of six.[2] As a child, she didn't know how to deal with bullies and kept her feelings to herself.[6] Hiding her transgender identity led to four attempted suicides.[2] In 2004, she consulted a sex clinic to find about sex reassignment surgery.[2] In 2009, she finally underwent the operation.[11] After surgery, she started to think about supporting the transgender community.[5] Leung's stated goal is for Hong Kong society to learn more about transsexual and transgender individuals.[7] Leung has been fighting hard for LGBT rights in Hong Kong. She wants to ensure that other transgender people do not have to go through what she endured, especially since there is only little information on being transgender available to them.[8] Thus, she helped set up the Transgender Resource Centre (TGR) which helps support transgender individuals and provides education about transgender issues.[9] Leung works with TGR on a full-time basis.[2] In 2014, Leung received her degree in computing from the University of Greenwich.[2] Also in 2014, she spoke to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and was the first transgender person from Hong Kong to do so.[10] She was also openly vocal in her opposition to an amendment to the Marriage Ordinance which would require transgender individuals to have sex reassignment surgery before they could marry.[11] Leung has also been a member of the Advisory Group on Eliminating Discrimination against Sexual Minorities, a group convened by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, and the Community Forum on AIDS. In 2015, Leung joined the Democratic Party in Hong Kong in order to modernize the party's stance on LGBT issues.[12] She ran in the party primaries of 2016 Hong Kong Legislative election, but was defeated by Lam Cheuk-ting, who subsequently won in the general election.
