THEY live on the fringes, shunning attention, like this Singaporean transsexual.
Jack (not his real name) was born more of a Jill.
Only last month did he and three others summon enough courage to tell their story at an open forum.
The forum, the first of its kind, was organised by SgButterfly, a group for transsexuals here.
The speakers were all born women and want or subsequently got a sex change.
According to one study, there are far more men who seek to be women (transwomen) than the other way around (transmen).
