After years of living in shame and torment, Cindy Thai Tai underwent sex reassignment surgery and says she's never felt happier.

Cindy Thai Tai is ecstatic with her new life, she says. After undergoing gender reassignment surgery in 2005, Tai became one of just a few Vietnamese to speak publicly about her transsexuality.

"I make no secret about my gender transformation as I want people to accept me and others like me as we are," says Tai. "There are those who are not brave enough to make their sexual orientation known in order not to be treated as social outcasts. I don't want to be like them."
