They were like ‘Please coach go and check this lady she is not a girl she is a boy.’ So I used to feel different from my agemates till I saw Ajuma, I was like let all this people speak, I am unique. I can literally stand in town and I can see everything going on so I am in my own era, breathing fresh air up there.”

I might like a guy but if he is not comfortable with my height,” she said.
