Lei Ming (Ray) is a trans man (FTM) who lives in stealth in China, but he is currently in the U.S. to speak about his life and experiences. Life Beyond My Body: A Transgender Journey to Manhood is his first book.
When he is not writing, he uses his language skills to keep the lights on and finance his reading habit through tutoring and translating jobs. A self-described “typical introvert,” Ray spends a lot of time alone, drawing or playing guitar.
