http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/02/23/vinolia-wakijo-living-others.htmlLGBT activist Vinolia Wakijo didn't see herself as a transgender woman. "I thought I was just feminine and liked to wear make up," she said.
She didn't identify with the image society had of transgender women — heavily made up individuals wearing short skirts and tank tops, either working in beauty salons or soliciting sex.
"I was afraid of [transgender women wearing heavy make up]," she said.
