Byun See-Hoo, the first trans soldier in the South Korean military, lost a reinstatement appeal in 2020. She was found dead in her home in Cheongju, South Korea on 3 March 2021. (YouTube/Yonhap News Agency/Korea Now)
The family of South Korea’s first trans soldier has vowed to continue her legal fight against the army.
Byun Hee-soo was discharged from the army after undergoing gender affirmation surgery in January last year. She was a staff sergeant and tank driver in the Gyeonggi province, north of Seoul, before her dismissal.
Byun then launched a landmark legal challenge against the South Korean army over her dismissal, but this was rejected in July.

On 1/1 China reported 8 new domestic confirmed and 3 new domestic asymptomatic cases.
Dalian in Liaoning Province reported 4 new domestic confirmed cases (all moderate). Both confirmed cases are in moderate condition. None of the cases appear to traced close contacts, but are from residential compounds under lock down, and so have not left home since 12/22 or 12/25. They all had initially tested positive on 12/29, and were confirmed upon re-test, before finally being reported on 1/1. My impression is that Dalian has been less effective with contact tracing, less prompt and less comprehensive with information sharing, than other places in China. There are currently 47 domestic confirmed cases and 30 domestic asymptomatic cases in the city. There are 13 communities, 2 residential compounds and a village at Medium Risk in the city.
