Ghanaian transgender activist/musician and actress, Angel Maxine has revealed some challenges she has faced growing up as a male who identifies as a female, including being taken to Prophet T.B Joshua for deliverance.
Maxine, who now uses her platform to advocate for the rights of people in the LGBTQ+ community in the country, revealed that her parents were in denial of her sexuality, and would try to change her via prayer.
The openly transwoman revealed during an appearance on the If More Lets Divide podcast program that growing up, life was difficult for her in her youthful stage because of her unidentified gender.
Growing up I never felt any opposition from home, from home I didnt feel anyway but rather outside people saw me different and they use to tease me a lot, like kojo besia, Obaa barima and they use to call me names and bully me, tease me, she narrated.
Angel Maxine states that years of bullying forced her to build a wall in order to protect herself.
It came to a point that I had to also build a defense wall around myself to also fight back when they attack me like that. People will gather to beat me because I was different, Ill close from school and theyll be hiding in corners and they will bully me, this is my nature and I couldnt change, I was like 1/14 years, adults bullying me, she revealed.
Ghanaian parents supporting their children despite their percieved gender or sexuality are the only good people left. Take a cue from Angel Maxine TV 's mother. This is true love
