Chao (25) was born in Japan as son of a Chinese woman and has lived in Switzerland since she was five. It was clear early on that she was not a “normal” boy, but actually a girl. Now she takes the step and wants to have a surgery to become a biological woman. CHAO’S TRANSITION accompanies the young trans woman Chao on the search for her identity between genders and cultures.
