Finalist in Vietnam song contest comes out as a trans woman

Huong Giang made history in Vietnam when she came out live during Vietnam Idol as a transgender woman.
On Thursday (6 September) the TV talent show jury delivered their verdict to the 25-year-old finalist from Hanoi, praising her effort and determination.

Judge and film director Nguyen Quang Dung asked if Giang had previously auditioned for Vietnam Idol. After a few hesitant seconds the contestant admitted that she previously auditioned under a male name, Nguyen Ngoc Hieu.
