"A transgender woman in Zambia reportedly faces 15 years in prison for the crime of sodomy after a man she met claimed he was "deceived" by her, reported the Washington Blade.

A newspaper in that African country, The Zambia Daily Mail, misgendered the trans woman, deadenamed her and referred to her as a "fake woman" in its headline on October 31, reporting that Magistrate Derrick Mate Chingumbe convicted the trans woman in a court in the country's Mongu District."
