Bryan Wee is known for his flamboyant character and comedic videos featuring him crossdressing – but the internet celebrity recently announced that he will be officially transitioning into a woman. Bryan, now going as Bai En, shared the news in an emotional video through their social media accounts.
In the video, the controversial star announced they would bid farewell to their male body and head to Thailand on the 24th of this month for a gender reassignment surgery. Bai En (Bryan) said the decision was not impulsive because they had thought about it for a while. They have also already given themselves a new identity under the new name, Bai En, which is derived from Bryan.
The revelation set off a storm of opinions from netizens, who have mixed feelings about the public figure’s transition. While some supported his decision and wished him a smooth process, others questioned whether they were serious about the surgery. After sharing his future plans, Bai En did a broadcast with their mother to share her reaction to the news.
According to the video, Bai En’s mother was rather accepting of the decision, saying that her child has been well-behaved and filial ever since he was a shield and changing genders won’t change that fact. She added, “No matter what he becomes, he will still be my child. As long as he is a boy and a girl, I will be happy as long as he is obedient and a good person.”
Bai En’s godfather also appeared in the livestream but the man had an opposing outlook on the matter. The godfather believed that one should remain “original” as the way they were born and should not change their gender. However, it is believed that he still supports Bai En’s decision to have the reassignment surgery. As for their father’s opinion on the surgery, Bai En said they would meet him before flying to Thailand.
