http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2011/01/10/2003493140Gender and labor rights activists yesterday demonstrated outside Mackay Memorial Hospital in Taipei against the sacking of a transvestite employee who preferred to dress in women's clothing and use the ladies' room at work, although he is biologically male.
"I am here to get back my right to work," Chou Yi-jen (周逸人), surrounded by rights activists, told media during the protest.
