Maazi – my fault – I meant to write one thing, but wrote another. As regards “Malawi authorities” conducting inspections – I have just as little confidence in them as I do any non-specialist in the area.

e.g. In 1985, I was diagnosed based on examinations at a specialist Fertiliy Clinic using the best technology of the time as a mildly intersexed male; apparently with Undervirilised Fertile Male Syndrome, a form of Partial Androgen Insensitivity.

In 2005, because of the extreme changes in my body, I was given an exam using 21st century technology, with apparatus not available in 1985 – nor in most places in the world even today. PCR and FISH tests of the genotype, MRI scans with and without radiocative dye, multiple hi-definition ultrasound examinations of abdomen and genitalia. Some of the tests took several months to complete, and cost many tens of thousands of dollars.

And the diagnosis was changed to “severe androgenisation of a non-pregnant woman.”

I’ve been called on by professors of medicine to lecture on the subject, so I know just how little is taught to non-specialist medics in this area.

Tiwonge and Steven both appeared publicly for the first time since their release on Wednesday. Tiwonge had ‘taken a breather’, presumably from the media attention, and that explains why Tiwonge had not been seen since release.

Intersex condition is a congenital issue. We Africans have no problem with people who are born with vaguely defined private parts such as that of the elegant Caster Semanya. We are aware that it is not her fault. In some cases, surgery have been used to correct this congenital problem.

On the other hand, practitioners of western debauchery—gay sex lovers and transverstites—voluntarily violate our laws and traditions and must therefore must be made to face the penal code.
