A person who broke the male
stranglehold on being a Venetian gondolier some 10 years ago has
come out as transgender.
"My name is Alex Hai, and I am transgender," said the
gondolier, who has German origins and had gone by the name of
Alexandra Hay after arriving in Venice in the 1980s.
The post said Hai was born as a woman but has always felt
male, adding that the correct pronouns to use were he, him and
his.
