A Nigerian lady simply known as Mystique Evolving has stated that contrary to the belief that God only created male and female genders, intersex beings were also created.
Mystique Evolving, who was born with both male and female organs, had gone viral in 2019 following her interview with BBC News Pidgin spotlighting her ordeal as a trans lady.
In that interview, the lady tearfully narrated how she faced rejections from family and discrimination from people, forcing her to live in isolation for over 10 years.
Mystique recalled one time her family people beat her up over the condition.
Three years after going viral, she has not only found love but also got married and reunited with her family; she wedded in 2021. Having embraced her condition, the lady proudly identifies as a trans and intersex human.
She is at the moment the executive program coordinator for Dynamic Initiative for Health and Human Rights, an organization that runs advocacy for gender identity, sexual orientation and expression.
In a recent interview with BBC News Pidgin, Mystique said her experience as a trans taught her that one can find love anywhere and that there are those who love ‘in-between’ folks.
She decried the low level of sensitization on intersex in Nigeria, stressing that there are people with it in the country apart from her.
