The thais are so liberal and ooen minded
But sarawakians beat them to it.

Both Chung and Beh have won numerous wushu awards.

TEN years ago the wedding of a transgender woman to a man in Kuching was a hot topic.

What made the topic hotter was that a stunningly handsome young man named Jeffrey Chung had gone for surgery to change into a woman, and thereafter chose to be called Jessie.

The wedding – glittering and splendorous in its display – was attended by nearly 1,000 guests.

Perhaps, it was also the fact it was the first such wedding to be held in the country that added to the brouhaha.


According to Chung’s own confession, her marriage to Joshua Beh was not the typical “love-at-first-sight-and-let’s-get-married” affair.

She said Beh had, in fact, assiduously pursued her for years and proposed numerous times – an astounding six times actually – before she finally relented.

Her heart was eventually won over by Beh’s perseverance, passion and, above all, sincerity.


There was one drawback though. Chung was kind of apprehensive as to how Beh’s family might judge her. What she was more anxious about was whether they would even accept her, and more precisely, as what she is after the sex change.

Chung’s fear was, however, soon put to rest. It turned out Beh’s parents not only welcomed her into the family but were also genuinely supportive of their son’s all-important decision on the choice of his life partner.

On Nov 12, 2005, Beh and Chung were solemnised as man and wife by three pastors.


Although their marriage was not officially recognised under Malaysian law, the couple graciously conceded it was all because the Constitution did not allow it and so they just had to accept the status quo.

Blood proposal wins her heart

LEGALLY, they can't get married. They can never have children. Their love can never be recognised in a Malaysian court of law.

Terrified of ruining his life, she rejected his proposals - even though it broke her heart.

And yet, he persisted.

He proposed again and again.

It took six proposals - and six rejections - before Miss Zhong Jie Xi (hanyu pinyin) agreed to marriage.

And even then, it took a letter written in blood in front of more than 100 friends that finally broke her strong will.

There was nothing Miss Zhong would have liked more than to be married to her boyfriend of two years, but her love for him stopped her from saying yes.

You see, Miss Zhong, who is from Subang, is not an ordinary woman.

She used to be a man.

'I didn't want him to make a mistake and ruin his entire life,' the transsexual told Guangming Daily, adding that she felt like a poor match for him.

MET AS MEN

Miss Zhong, who completed her sex change operation this year, met her boyfriend four years ago. At that time, she was still living as a man, known as Zhong Xuan Tai.

She started dating the 30-year-old accountant from Ipoh two years later. She declined to reveal his name, saying only that he was athletic and resembled Hong Kong actor Daniel Wu.

After dating for one year, Miss Zhong, who had known since she was a child that she was 'male outside, but female at heart', decided on the sex change.

But their relationship was fraught with uncertainties: They faced their parents' disapproval and a society that simply could not accept them.

ACCEPTED BY MUM

'At first, his mother thought I was some sex worker he picked up from the street. But when she realised I was actually Zhong Xuan Tai (his friend), she accepted me and told him to take good care of me,' said Miss Zhong, who was educated in Canada.

Despite the difficulties and her insecurities, Miss Zhong said her boyfriend never gave up on them. He was loving, patient, and persistent.

After being rejected so many times, he finally decided to prove his love for her in front of their friends.

At a celebration one evening, he produced a pocket knife and, in front of a gathering of more than 100 friends, he cut his hand and wrote a letter to her with his blood.

'You are the source of all my joy, the strength in my life,' read the letter.

'After seeing him cut himself and all that blood, I fainted,' said Miss Zhong.


'I was so touched I agreed to get engaged.'

The couple plans to get registered next year.

However, one thing still stands in their way.

Miss Zhong's identity card and passport still say she's a man. She has to carry a doctor's letter indicating she's had a sex change whenever she travels.

'We have appealed to the Malaysian authorities to have it changed,' she said.

'But if they don't agree to it, we'll just have to get married overseas and come back to Malaysia for the wedding ceremony.'

CHILDREN

As for children, the pair have no intentions of having any yet.

'We want to enjoy being a couple first. We'll worry about children when the time comes,' said Miss Zhong.

'After all, we visit orphanages frequently and the children there are already like our children.'
