WOMEN who have a persistent wish to be male are less common here than men wanting to be women.

Mr Daniel Kaw, 37, the founder of SgButterfly, said when people talk about transsexuals, 'they immediately think about Changi Village and about Thailand's transsexual cabaret shows'.

Mr Kaw believes that it is socially easier to be a transman than a transwoman because of the public's different perceptions of them.
