Abstract
Through a grounded theory approach, the present paper examines the lived experience of transsexuals and other Gender-Variant people (such as Cross-dressers and TBs – a local expression for Tomboys) in Hong Kong. The aim of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of the process of the informants’ gender identity formation and transformation within the cultural context of Hong Kong, and how they manage their gender dysphoria and body image issues. By comparing the similarities and differences between the lived experience of transsexuals and other Gender-Variant people, this study aspires to build a model of gender identity spectrum that can help explain gender diversity.
