Lotus Sports Club

Leak was born in a woman’s body, but he knew something wasn’t right. He plucked up his courage, cut his hair, came out to his family, and signed up for his dream football club, Lotus. He found himself under the protective wing of Coach Vann Sovann, whom the team affectionately calls Pa Vann. He takes gender diversity as something natural, and is not only a coach but also a friend and role model for his players. But he doesn’t directly address the question of identity very often with his charges. He finds it much more important to teach them generally applicable values, such as cooperation, discipline, and respect.
