    I admire his/her courage. Really admirable. No matter your take on this issue, kindly try not to be judgemental. For he didnt choose to be this way.

    This interviewer was done so well. The sensitivity, respect, and the attention to detail were on point. Not intrusive at all. And Mphatso, very articulate. You have educated us well today.

    This was a successful interview on so many levels
    The gentleman has class. He showed that he developed his attitude not as a result of negativity but as a result of positive.
    He was never defensive and offensive.
    Yes hus situation is different but he grew to make decisions based on the reality of who he is.
    This could be contentious ( my interpretation) he never used the term "feeling" unlike persons who when asked to explain their gender identity or choice.
    He has done his research and he's able to articulate his responses clearly and unflustered.
    Dr Dora's questions were what all of us would have asked. She made it comfortable for him.
    It was indeed a lesson for me. I have heard of hermaphrodite but never heard of "intersex"
    His explanation made me realize and accept how it could be.
    I hope that his journey forward is filled with continued blessings.

  • @imaginelovepeaceandhappine3281

    I’m surprised and proud that many are respecting that he identify as a male. I’m sure it’s confusing and judgmental by many because he has very large breast. I’m glad there is an advocate in the country for the intersex people.

    Kindly share with us on the analysis results with regards to your Pelvis.......
    Your pelvis is the part of your body that contains your uterus and bladder.
    The female pelvis is wider than the male pelvis, as it’s designed for pregnancy and childbirth.

    I very much appreciate this interview. Gender is a spectrum and so is sexuality. The society is the problem, because it is stuck in the ancient cultural and religious narrow view. The saddest thing is that, that binary view informs every aspect of our lives and such normal people as Mphaso are excluded from fully participation in the society. Gays Lesbians and all the other variations also need to be heard. This would benefit the society and also help our governments make better policies and educate us all. Thankyou so much, keep doing the good work.

    I know that God is a perfect creator and there is no confusion jn who he should have created...What I know spiritually is that the devil can attack a child while in the womb and cause deformities in children.
    However, because we need to have a reason to give people why then we believe God makes such mistakes. I pray for you and many others struggling with their identities that you may all receive the healing and restorative power of God.

    • @joeewell4846
      @joeewell4846 Před měsícem +3

      In Genesis 5:2 the term "THEM" is 3rd person, masculine, singular. This refers to both male and female in a single body, grammatically speaking of course. "Hermaphrodites", as we have been known until the mid-1990's, since then known simply by the term "intersex", we are BINARY, within the xx and xy but just "somewhere in the middle". So intersex is not a mistake but the original manner of mankind's creation.

    This interview is the truth! Thank you for the kindness, consideration, intelligence, sharing, informative, just wonderful educative interview. This is so needed.
    I want to know more about the demographics in Zambia. In the US we have a serious problem with chemical that affect our sexuality. It is not discussed. The public is NOT informed. We have chemicals that only show in the grandchildren of those exposed. They only advocate for gay rights n mention nothing about pesticides/herbicides, fertilizers, chemicals in cans and cartons n plastic bpa. While all over the world demanding gay rights. But not the rights to know they are poisoning us… and changing us.
    Again we appreciate this enlightening interview.
