Thishiwe Ziqubu Opens Up About the Recent Challenges They Faced As A Transgender

Thishiwe Ziqubu Opens Up About the Recent Challenges They Faced As A Transgender. Many people who have transitioned from one gender to the other, have faced many difficulties. A lot of them get judged by their families, relatives, communities, and people at large.

Thishiwe Ziqubu, who now conforms by the pronouns he/him/they/them understands this very well. Despite the challenges, his family has accepted him, something that doesn’t happen for many. The award winning actress dated Mandisa Nduna for four years, before they called it quits in 2020. The couple was an inspiration to those in same sex relationships, since the two ladies are public figures. Since their breakup, Thishiwe has been quite private about his love life, other than the fact that he is not straight.

He has just shared on X about a date that didn’t materialize. Thishiwe ended things because their potential partner keeps on misgendering him. He had enough when he was told this happens because he is still a woman. This has hurt Thishiwe, more so since he has no plans to do a gender affirming surgery as yet.

“Just cancelled a date& cut ties with a woman who kept misgendering me ‘by mistake’ & today slips &says ‘but you’re still a woman’ ja neh…dating as a trans enby man not on hrt and with no current plans of gender affirming surgery is interesting (read cruel) #TransDayofVisability,” Thishiwe said.
