A trans activist has attacked the media for referring to a Malawian put on trial for homosexuality as a man rather than a trans woman.

Transgender activist and writer on sex and sexuality, Jane Fae, says the "gay" Malawian, Tiwonge Chimbalanga has made it clear that she is female. Chimbalanga, 26, dresses in traditional women's clothes, but media outlets have received mixed messages from the couple's legal team.
