Hong Kong transvestite caught in nurses' washroom is jailed

Hong Kong - A transvestite man caught dressed as a nurse in the female washroom at a Hong Kong public hospital has been jailed, a news report said Thursday.
Chung Kai-lun, 29, was found wearing women's clothes and a surgical mask in the hospital toilet less than a year after being given a suspended sentence for dressing as a schoolgirl in a school canteen.
Chung, who told the court he considered himself a woman but could not afford a sex change, was arrested after a woman dentist at Hong Kong's Princess Margaret Hospital came out of a cubicle to find him standing next to her.
He was wearing a black wig and green surgical mask along with a white skirt and women's clothes when police arrested him after the incident in August, the South China Morning Post reported.
At a hearing in Hong Kong's Kowloon City court Wednesday, Chung was jailed for three months for loitering and for breaching a suspended sentence imposed for when he was caught dressed as a schoolgirl last year.
