Ghana’s first transgender musician, Angel Maxine has come out to speak about the prejudice and ostracisation that her kind face in the West African country. She recently had her say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to her, she has accepted herself to be a she while embracing her biological difference over the years, and there’s nothing anybody can do about it.
Angel added that she started displaying effeminate traits immediately she was born and medical personnel were even puzzled about her gender because she had a penis.
Her words, “Even right at the hospital, they couldn’t tell my gender. They will be like, is this a male or this is female? They have to unwrap me and take me all around for them to see that oh, this one has a penis oo!”
“I always felt like I was living somebody else’s life. Kojo Besia… Obaaberima… It got to some point I owned it. So when you call me Kojo Besia, Obaa Berima, I’m like, ‘hello, hi’. I just owned it. I am popularly known as Angel Maxine, and I’m Ghana’s first openly transgender musician.”
WOW.
