Leona Lo, one of Singapore's high-profile out transwomen, is set to
star in the stage adaptation of her autobiography From Leonard to
Leona: A Singapore Transsexual's Journey to Womanhood. The play
entitled Ah Kua (a pejorative Hookien term originally ascribed to
cross dressers but now also increasingly being used to refer to
transgender/transsexual women in Singapore), which runs from August 6,
7 and 8, 2009 at 8 pm at the Substation Theatre, has just encountered
its first transphobic opposition from the National Library Board of
Singapore no less.
