Activist Henry Tse, who won an appeal to change the gender on his ID card, speaks to media members after receiving the new document in Hong Kong, Monday, April. 29, 2024. The Hong Kong transgender activist who fought a years-long legal battle to change the gender on his official identity card finally received the new document on Monday, vowing to continue working hard on the unfinished path of fighting for equality for his community.
Tse's victory is seen as an important step forward for the city's LGBTQ+ community, many of whose transgender members consider the operation unnecessary and risky. Tse said bank staff told him he did not match his ID card and asked him to resubmit documents. He also could not change the gender on his travel permit to mainland, which caused him a delay when crossing the border. Immigration officials searched their computer for 15 minutes, he said, before finally letting him enter.
