Kit Yan boldly speaks out about transgender issues as the ‘hot tranny boi slam poet’
Kit Yan is gender queer. And he’s letting everyone within the sound of his voice know that.
In his journey in altering the body formerly known as Laura Yan, the 22-year-old felt he had to move from his Oahu birthplace to the mainland and college in order to feel comfortable as a transgendered person. That is, as “comfortable” as one can get for someone who deliberately blurs the male-female line and doesn’t hide it.
Yan is bold in speaking out as a “hot tranny boi slam poet.” On his Web site, Yan states that his vision is “to take trans issues public through any channel (TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, etc.) within three years.”
