Transsexual women are not cross-dressers

MR IVAN Lau suggested MediaCorp should have given the National Day Parade segment on racial harmony and nation building an NC-16 rating as it featured cross-dressing actors Gurmit Singh and Chua Enlai (“Drag wrong, guys”; Thursday).

I wrote a letter to Straits Times to highlight transgender and transsexual women are not cross-dressers. Neither do we enjoy being spoofed on national television. Rather than give us an NC-16 rating so as to keep us out of his children’s sight, we would advise the writer to give them a lesson in respect and tolerance instead.
