Now he has spoken about his experiences, shedding light on the immense challenges and isolation he has faced throughout his journey of comprehending and accepting his unique natural composition.
He also said he wants to start a relationship but is too shy
Talking to YouTuber Fantse, the young man revealed his father turned his back on him so he had to live with his grandparents.
He said: “When I was young, some white people came for me, and they wanted to take me away so my father has to sign before they can take me away, but because he doesn’t want to associate with me, he didn’t come, so my grandparents said I should remain as I am.”
He explained that as he grew older, he gradually discovered that his feet had five toes contrary to his mother’s initial claim that like with his fingers, he had extra toes.
But then he went on: “I have two things together, the vagina and penis, the vagina is flat there and the penis is on top, I urinate through the penis, but for the vagina, it is there but there’s no hole in it.
“With my current make-up, I feel bad going into a relationship because maybe they might run away from me when they see how I am. Initially, I didn’t want to do that because I felt I will become somebody after school but right now that I want to go into relationships, I am feeling shy to go and talk to them.”

He also spoke about discrimination and rejection during job searches as employers were hesitant to hire him due to his physical appearance.
He said: “I am old and I need to work but employers see how I look and they don’t want to help me. So, I am pleading with those that are watching to assist me in any anyway possible to help me overcome this feeling of being entirely different.”
