Pressure from trying to hide my true gender
Recently, the program Little Corner of Youth aired with the participation of transgender singers Lynk Lee. Here, Lynk Lee shared a lot about his past.
Opening the program, Lynk Lee was eager to recall past memories. She said: “My childhood was associated with cassette tapes, images of the movie Hoan Chau Princess shown on TV every night and even the times when my parents beat me when I was playful… Those are beautiful memories that I can’t forget. It will follow me for the rest of my life. Wherever I go, wherever I go, I will always remember those memories.”
Next, Lynk Lee performed the song Love dream by singer My Tam. Regarding the reason for choosing this song, Lynk Lee said:
“I’m a big fan of My Tam. Her music has been associated with my childhood since I was little.
I know most of the songs that My Tam ever performed. Even my current voice is influenced a lot by my senior.
Besides My Tam, when I was young, I was passionate about many other singers such as Dan Truong, Quang Vinh, Ung Hoang Phuc…
At that time, I also cut paper in Hoa Pui newspaper to receive Quang Vinh’s liveshow disc. Unexpectedly one day I also received the disc. At that time, I was so happy that I cried. You are all part of my memories.”
After reminiscing about the past associated with music and seniors in the profession, Lynk Lee was asked to share about her first love.
However, she confessed: “I have not had a first love. I don’t have a lover yet. People don’t know I like them because I don’t tell. I’m scared. The people I like don’t like boys, they only like girls. That’s why I’m a girl now.”
Regarding gender, Lynk Lee confided: “I have to use the word ‘pressure’ to describe the period of trying to hide my true gender.
I’m tired of creating a different image to communicate with people. That’s why I often release that pressure on songs. I convey love into the song, people don’t know my story, so they think it’s a story of a man and a woman.”
When asked by MC Minh Xu to “call” back to himself at the age of 20, Lynk Lee messaged:
“Lynk! Composing songs must be recorded in a notebook, don’t lose it! You have to store a lot. Now it’s very precious to keep those songs but I don’t know where to find them anymore.
One thing to do is come out sooner! You have to tell your parents as early as possible about your gender. Especially to tell my father right away.”
At this point, Lynk Lee burst into tears. She confided: “I’m sorry. My dad never knew I was like this.
Before he died, did he ask me if there was anything else he wanted to tell him? I really wanted to come out to my dad, but I didn’t. I was afraid, and now I regret not telling my father before he died.”
