By Taiwo Okanlawon

UK-based Nigerian gay rights activist, Bisi Alimi has lambasted Nigerian popular crossdresser, Bobrisky for being a threat to the trans community in Nigeria and a fraud.

Bobrisky had taken took to social media to reveal he decided to change his gender from a male to a female to earn a living.

According to Bobrisky, he changed his gender because he could not make earns meet as a man, and since he had ‘little bit of female features’ in him, he decided to try what cross-dressing look like, and ‘under one year of cross-dressing’ he started making money.

He wrote in an Instagram post:

“Dis message is for you all to read before you judge me. I was formally a man for almost 25yrs, nothing to show for it. I kept struggling even with my certificate as a graduate of accounting in university of Lagos, nothing to still show for it.

”I saw how all my females friends were cashing out back then. I went home and think about my life. If I join robbery they will end up killing me, secondly I don’t even have that heart to think to that dimension or to even scam people of their sweat . while I was growing I have a little bit of female features in me, so I decide to try what cross dressing look like. Under one yr of cross dressing I started making money .

”I was still surprise . So I gave my body more time, rubbing expensive creams, smelling good, using more of females body pills and looking out for myself. Boom more money keep coming… men admiring me, women giving me endorsements from right and left. Short story I fit in as a female to a man. God bless all d women around d world many of you love me and accepted me, save me and I will always respect WOMEN.”

Reacting to Bobrisky’s reasons of being a crossdresser, Bisi Alimi called him out for doing that for profit and that is not what trans is about.

According to him, Bobrisky is a fraud and it’s about high time they call him what he is because he’s a man in women’s cloth just for money and fame.

Adding that he could have done his own thing and get the fame and fame he wanted without being a local mad idiot.

”I am never one to misgender anyone but Bobrisky is (based on this comment) a man in a woman’s clothing for profit and that’s not what being Trans is.
