Transgenders in Korean Society

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Inje University Sanggye Paik Hospital , Korea Chulmin Lee

Sexual minorities including have long been tabooed especially when confucianism prevailed for the last several centuries in Korea. The first who courageously underwent gender reassignment surgery to a woman in 1955 eventually returned to a man in his later years. The bitter reality surfaced in a large scale only when it was broadcasted in 1990. Celebrities such as Harisu and Hong Seok-Cheon came out in early 2000 and the existence of LGBTQ in Korean society slowly had become a new normal. Harisu was a representative MTF transgender. However, the public was not favorable for another period after the Blueboy Trial broke out in coincidentally around mid-2000s, although the case itself was not widely acknowledged in Korean society. Hong Seok-Cheon reappeared in media in late 2000s and prosperous as a media star as well as a cook. He may be a symbolic figure representing LGBTQs. The National Human Rights Commission of Republic of Korea reported the Research on Discrimination of Sexual Orientation and in 2014 that contains in-depth online survey from 200 students, 100 teachers, and 948 adult sexual minorities. It showed that sexual minorities are still inappropriately treated and withered. They tend to conceal themselves in fear of bullying from teachers and friends that most never notified to anyone even when bullying actually happened. They seldom consulted but relieved when they did. or outing led them to layoffs in many cases that employment rate was notably lower than general population. They felt they were discriminated even in hospitals. The legislation of Korea for the sexual minorities is far from sufficient and social concern is highly anticipated. There is a long road ahead to protect the human rights of sexual minorities in Korea. And health professionals have good amount of burden to undertake. 2020 年 3 月 Lee 253
