This video is an interview with Alexa Chicheko, a masculine-of-center woman living in Zimbabwe. Alexa identifies as Androgynous and discusses the challenges of living an authentic life in a society with rigid gender expectations.
The interview explores the following topics:
- Alexa's experience with gender identity and how it is perceived in Zimbabwean culture.
- The pressure to conform to heteronormative expectations, such as marriage and children.
- The lack of legal protections and societal acceptance for LGBTQ+ relationships.
- Alexa's desire to travel the world and live a life where she can be herself openly.
Alexa concludes the interview with a message of hope and resilience, stating that she is here, alive, and unique. She wants the world to know that it is possible to live an authentic life, even in challenging circumstances.
I highly recommend watching this video, especially if you are interested in learning more about LGBTQ+ experiences in Africa or the challenges of living an authentic life in a non-conforming way. Alexa is a strong and inspiring person, and her story is worth hearing.
