On May 24th the court upheld the ban on gay sex giving a huge blow to the LGBT community in the country.
This was after a case filled in 2016 by three gay rights organizations that sought to have 162 (a) and (c) and section 165 of the penal code declared unconstitutional.
Four days after the court ruling, Transgender stylist and model Letoya Johnstone claims her life is in danger and she will be seeking asylum soon.
According to Letoya, she has faced backlash from her neighbors and cannot interact freely with anyone.
“Just look at this beauty. Look at this humility. Look at this law-abiding citizen. Look at me, look at me now.
Just look at this beauty that is being attacked everywhere in the neighborhood because some people denied me a right to live. Why do you call me mean names? Don’t you see me? Don’t you even think of how i feel?
Keep kicking these doors of mine until you bring them all down. And when am dead, lay a bed of roses in my grave.” She said
Letoya also aired her grievances saying the pain is too much for her.
“The pain is too much. Who are we not to shine? “anger” ends with the words “why can’t you see me? Everyone else can.” While “apathy” begins with, “so what are you gonna say at my funeral, now that you’ve killed me? I am seeking for asylum as soon as possible” she added
According to Letoya she was born a male but chose to be a woman, a decision, she says, has caused him some of her friends and family members. Letoya’s parents even disowned her.
The model has refuted claims that she underwent surgery to make her a woman, insisting that she was born a transperson, a fate she did not have control over.
Letoya does not mince her words when vividly describing how pretty she is, “with hips, nice legs and feminine physique.”
“I was born male but I have never changed anything. I was just born as pretty as woman, with hips, nice legs and beautiful physique like a woman. I have always been a woman, I have always felt like a woman all my life I have been a woman. The only thing that is different is what is in my genitalia, ”insists Letoya.
Letoya rues the extremely judgemental nature of people, who pretend to care about her yet they don’t want her around them.
“And honestly to say, I don’t have a single friend honestly completely, ” she adds.
