Profile
Tseng Kai-hsin is a transgender teacher who was assigned male at birth but later experienced a conflict between her gender identity and her assigned sex. She initially suppressed her female identity, in part due to marital obligations, and only after the passing of her wife in 2013 did she decide to live openly as a woman, courageously embracing her true self.
As an educator, Tseng’s transition required immense bravery. Her school, Taichung First Senior High School, not only supported her decision but also established gender-friendly restrooms, setting a model for practicing gender equality within the campus.
Through her personal example, Tseng Kai-hsin has allowed students and society to witness the real lives of transgender people and actively fostered understanding and inclusion, making a lasting impact on gender education in Taiwan.
