Small Luk
Intersex activist
Small Luk is an intersex human rights activist and the first intersex person to openly acknowledge her biological sex characteristics in Hong Kong.[1] She was born with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS).[2] Luk lived as a male for 36 years, and now identifies and lives as a woman,[2] after changing her sex characteristics from intersex to female through gender-affirming surgery, upon doctors' advice to undergo the surgery because her type of PAIS would most likely have caused cancer.[2]
She founded the organization "Beyond Boundaries – Knowing and Concerns Intersex"[3] in 2011, which is concerned with, and strives for, the rights of intersex people.
