In an
interview with UK's Channel 4 to promote her new book, 'Dear Ijeawele Or a
Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions, famed Nigerian author Chimamanda
Adichie shared her thoughts on Trans-woman, saying trans-women are trans-women,
and it's not fair that people who had previously enjoyed the privileges that
comes with living as a man now what to compare their experiences with people
have lived all their lives as women
"I think
the whole problem of gender in the world is about our experiences. It's not
about how we wear our hair or whether we have a vagina or a penis. It's about
the way the world treats us. And I think if you've lived in the world as a man
with the privileges that the world accords to men and then sort of change
gender, it's difficult for me to accept that then we can equate your experience
with the experience of a woman who has lived from the beginning as a
woman" - Watch the video and people's reactions after the cut...
