    My fellow south Sudanese, when will you stop forcing your young beloved,beautiful daughters to old men because of mere animals (cow).
    You know how much she is to you compare to a cow but I know you still have that fixed mind set that cows are praised like god but I call stupidity.

South Sudanese man who turned into a woman has finally spoken about his need for man to settle with. The South-South Sudanese man who goes by the name Paul Gatnoor, has found men hard to come by in the western world. Paul Gatnoor who hails from the Nuer tribe in South Sudan has decided to turn into a female since she can’t withstand the pressure of being a man. He was born a man but deep inside him, he was having the genes of a woman. Transgender is the challenge that the gender in which one is given has birth is not the exact gender that one has. This means that people who are born male can identify themselves as female since they don’t have the genes of being a male, this is what Paul Gatnoor is undergoing.
