Feminist transsexual Sema has been staying in male dorms since she left home to study. She wears lipstick but does not believe she has to shave.

Sema, a 23-year-old Boğaziçi University student calls herself a marginal transsexual. "We all have some certain images of femininity or masculinity, and approach the issue through codes of dual sexuality," she said in recent interview with daily Radikal.
