Forty three years ago, a chromosome took the wrong road.

By the age of five, Jin Xing knew she felt different from other little boys, but it was not until she was 28 that she smashed the gender barrier by changing sex, in a series of operations that almost crippled her, but fulfilled her deepest desires.

Jin, whose name in Chinese means "gold star" or Venus, has a singular profile. But the first Chinese "out" transsexual modern dancer and choreographer prefers to be known as a serious artist, rather than a celebrity. And like her celestial namesake, the earthbound Venus has spun the other way for most of her life.
