“#South Korea’s first known transgender soldier found dead<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

South Korea\u2019s first known transgender soldier \u2014 who was discharged from the military last year \u2014 was found dead in her home on Wednesday, officials said.<\/p>\n

Byun Hui-su was found by rescue workers after local mental health counselors reported she had not responded for days, according to Shin Jeong-hwan, a fire department official in the central city of Cheongju.<\/p>\n

Byun, who had been a staff sergeant and tank driver, was discharged in January 2020 for undergoing gender reassignment surgery.<\/p>\n

She protested the military\u2019s decision, but her petition for reinstatement was denied last July.<\/p>\n

Human rights advocates came to Byun\u2019s defense, arguing her removal from the military was discriminatory.<\/p>\n

South Korea prohibits transgender people from joining the military.<\/p>\n

Byun said she had suffered depression over her sexual identity for an extended period of time. She received gender reassignment surgery in Thailand in 2019.<\/p>\n
