In September, Chinese dancer Jin Xing （金星） posted on her Weibo account that she has been banned from judging a television program because of her transsexual identity.

Despite her professional skills, many people think transsexuals should not appear in the media, since they pose a moral threat among adolescents. In Jin's opinion, this is pure prejudice caused by a lack of understanding and awareness. Her post drew wide support.


Jin used to be an excellent male dancer. At the age of 28, she realized her dream of a sex change by going under the knife. Since then, she had received many interviews and talked repeatedly about her life as a transsexual. Through this, Jin hopes the public can understand more about the lives of transsexual people.
