ABIGAIL THE MAN WHO BECAME A WOMAN
Cast: Abigail Chay
From a young age, Abigail knew that she was a girl trapped in a
boys body. Like other young girls, she would fall in love with
boys and secretly play with her mothers makeup. But she would
always tell herself that she was a boy and those were bad feelings
and wrong things to do. She knew fully well that as the only son
and only child of a traditional Chinese family, she had the duty to
carry on the family line. She tried dating girls and even went
through National Service. But at the brink of adulthood, she
decided it was time to seek professional help. She was somehow
given the impression that she could be a hermaphrodite, case of
Genital Anomoly. She decided to undergo sex change and confessed to
her parents her desire to become a woman. Her decision was not an
easy one. Her parents were infuriated and devastated upon hearing
the news. But their love for their child shone through in the end,
and Abigails father funded Abigails sex-change operation with his
insurance payout. Today, Abigail still lives together with her
doting father. She is hopeful that she will be happily married to a
man who will love her unconditionally and take care of her
family
