Dorian is an advocate of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) rights in Malaysia, with particular emphasis on trans rights. He is the founder of the first and only online community of Malaysian transmen, Transmen of Malaysia (ToM). He also co-runs the largest Malaysian joint trans network, and the Malaysian Network of Transsexuals (MyNETRA), as well as a key member of Seksualiti Merdeka (SM) and Justice for Sisters (JFS).

Since he was three years of age, Dorian has felt and realised that he was actually a boy trapped in the body of a girl. He went through life thinking he was the only person who felt this way, until he ventured to Singapore at the age of 18.



In Singapore, Dorian met a trans-male individual, a person born with a female sexual identity but identifies with the male gender identity. Through him, Dorian discovered the LGBT society, giving him the courage and confidence to decide who he wanted to ultimately be. Dorian's would-be mentor also provided guidance and recommendations on what he should do when transitioning into a man, including which specialists he should refer to in his efforts.



When Dorian moved to Kuala Lumpur, he realised that the LGBT community in Malaysia often become victims of oppression in their own country. It was then that he decided to become an activist for LGBT rights as well as to provide awareness to the public in regards to the reality of being LGBT.
