Chinese tabloids filled with transsexual gossip
Chinese tabloids can't seem to get enough of transsexual news and gossip. Most stories deal with Chinese citizens trying to convince only a few qualified doctors to give them sexual reassignment surgery. Chinese fascination with transsexuals seems to have begun with the popularity of South Korean Ha-Ri-soo's sex change. Approximately 500 Chinese have already undergone surgery, and several people have used their sex change as the basis for their celebrity. The Chinese population at large still does not accept transsexuals, but tolerance may be down the road, thanks to recent celebrities.
