【WHY NOT BOLD】Defying the Label of a “Monster Girl” in a World That Understands Only – interviewing Taiwanese YouTuber Allie

Even if only 1% of the world treats her as a fellow human being, and 99% fail to grasp her journey, she tenaciously battles on against the world. Her name is Allie, a renowned Taiwanese YouTuber, and few still refer to her by her birth name.

The Right Soul in the Wrong Body “Why was I born male when I yearned to be female?” There was a time when Allie couldn't reconcile her male body with her identity as a woman; i...

Right from birth, her worth seemed measured by her gender, relegating her to an inferior status. A simmering resentment grew within her. “Why should having a son automatically make someone better? Are boys inherently more capable? Can't I excel just as well as a boy?” Many things pe...
