She has written about life as a transsexual woman and has given talks on transsexual issues. But on early Saturday morning, Ms Leona Lo was asked to leave a Clarke Quay nightspot, apparently for being a “lady boy”.

Ms Lo was at The Pump Room with a Singaporean Chinese man and woman and an American Chinese man.

She said in an email to the media: “The bouncer … asked one of my friends if he knew me. My friend replied ‘Yes’. Still, the bouncer … asked me to show him my ID. He said the bar did not welcome ‘lady boys’.”
