  Transgender in China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
China and greater China (the Chinese region, including People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (Republic of China)) have a long history of transgenderism.
Guanyin, the boddhisattva of compassion, famously went from being primarily male in Indian Buddhism (as Avalokitesvara) to being primarily female in China.
As transgender studies began in Taiwan and statistics began to be published, many people noted that the island had a far larger occurrence of transmen (female-to-male) than of transwomen (male-to-female).

 Transgender - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Transgender is generally used as an overarching, general term for a variety of individuals, behaviors, and groups centered around the full or partial reversal of gender roles; however, compare other definitions below.
Transgender people may or may not have had medical gender reassignment therapy, also called sexual reassignment surgery, and may or may not have any interest in such a procedure.
Transgender people may feel misunderstood by caregivers because of this practice; it is also quite confusing when a relationship that is considered gay or lesbian by both partners is labeled heterosexual, or a relationship that consists, as far as the partners are concerned, of a man and a women is labeled homosexual.

Transgender ASIA defines transgenders as those males or females of any age who are unhappy living in the gender identity ascribed to them at birth.

BEIJING — China and North Korea agreed "in principle" yesterday to convene a second round of six-nation talks on Pyongyang's nuclear program, further evidence of an increased diplomatic role for Beijing in the yearlong dispute.

 William L. Pierce on International Adoptions on National Review Online
The People's Republic of China, the leading country on the honor roll of nations allowing its children in need of families to come to the U.S., also took steps that had the effect of holding down adoption numbers.
China also decided to limit the number of agencies that would be allowed to work on intercountry adoptions.
That decision, along with China's implementing of a rule that not more than five percent of all adoptions could be to single persons — a response to continued violation of China's policy regarding placements with gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender persons, helped keep adoptions from China lower than they otherwise would have been.

 Archive 432 - China to regulate sex-change operations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
BEIJING - China's health authorities are looking into regulating sex-change operations in the country, where an estimated 250,000 people hanker to have their gender altered surgically.
The need for legislation, which currently does not exist, was driven home when a murderer from north-east China sought to escape arrest by undergoing surgery last year to become a woman, said Professor Chen Huanran, who is among China's top sex-change surgeons.
A woman from Anhui, Madam Chen, 50, said: "I didn't know that such operations were possible until my daughter begged her father and me to allow her to go through surgery to become a man. We agreed, because we were afraid she might become a drug addict."

 Rachel's Pages -- Being Transgender in Taiwan.
Transgender people in Taiwan are accepted in one small way: when they keep to their socially-prescribed niche, and do not try to break out of it in any way — in other words, when they allow themselves to be the objects of disrespect from the culture at large.
However, if you are a transgendered person here, the fact that struggling equals a loss of face means that your chances of achieving higher respect (in the eyes of people and in the eyes of the law) are virtually zero.
And I suppose it’s probably easier for a Taiwanese transgender person to pass, as the differences between men and women here tend to be less pronounced than they are among (for example) Caucasians.
