Muôi
Gender reassignment bill considered in Vietnam
Despite a complicated life as a queer single mom navigating a restrictive and traditional Vietnamese culture, Muội Hồng persists in dreaming of being an artist. She finds community and authenticity in her pursuit of hip hop dancing.
Muội discovered dance at a young age, which helped her escape a life of delinquency and drugs in her neighbourhood. She dreams of making it her career. "In Vietnam, at the age of 27, people think you are close to middle age, and they keep nagging me about my life choices", says Muội. "It is money that talks here. When I don’t have money, I don’t have the right to speak", she says.
