A Trans in Uganda

A Tororo man who was in 2006 arrested for assault wont stop wanting to be a woman.

Popularly known as Fatuma Segiyirira, the impersonator fought over a man with another woman at Nagongera township in a bar where 'she' worked as a barmaid. Segiyirira was taken to Tororo Central Police Station where 'she' was kept in the female cells.

Segiyirira was then produced in court on charges of assault and sent to Morukatipe Prison where he was also kept in a female inmates' wing.  He was later discovered to be a man after he reportedly started threatening to infect fellow female inmates with HIV/Aids. The Police added another charge of impersonation and he was returned to Morukatipe Prison in the male wing.

Fatuma faces prison time simply for living as a woman.   :(

Uganda must be a very hard place to live.

I won't even mention the other things she went through.
