Chao has always felt like a woman. In her mid-20s, she finally decides to transition. Born in Japan, she is still not sure where to undergo the procedure. In Switzerland, where she has lived since childhood? Or abroad? »Cis women in this society always have an advantage over us, so the aesthetic quality of the surgery is important.« When COVID thwarts her plans, other things become important. But Chao’s desire remains unbroken.
