Becoming a woman is more than just having breasts. It's also about having the right attitude, a transexual tells LEONG SIOK HUI.

At 26, she obtained her master's degree from the UK, published her first book two years later, held a couple of management jobs then went on to set up her now thriving public relations consultancy. 

Tall, slim and self-assured, this 31-year-old Singaporean gal loves windsurfing, salsa and exotic dances, and enjoys an active social life. On occasion, she fights for causes that are close to her heart – like when the authorities threatened to close down the local windsurfing club. 

But life hasn't always been peachy for Lo who was once a man. 

After reading this article, it's not hard to wonder why so many of us go dark after surgery.  She will always be a transsexual in everyone's eyes because she is so public.  Yet I have great admiration for people like her who risk everything to be visible to the public. It is these heros who pave the way for us who follow.
