After years of living openly as a woman, 32-year-old Adamu now faces a pivotal crossroads as he prepares to marry a woman. “I believe it is the right thing to do as a man,” Adamu said, commenting on his forthcoming wedding. Adamu began presenting as a woman during his teenage years. His early life as a crossdresser took place in Ture, his grandmother’s village in Nigeria’s Kano State, where his family moved after his father’s death.
