Ukuzalwa ulobulili obesifazana kumbe obesilisa kodwa isimo semizwa yakho singahambelani lobulili bakho kuvamile kweleZimbabwe kodwa akukabi lezibhedlela ezibona ngezimo ezinjalo kuthi labodokotela abanengi kabavamanga ukufundela ukwelapha abantu abalezimo ezingahambelani lobulili abazalwa belabo.
USam Ndlovu oleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lane olobulili besifazane kodwa elemizwa yabesilisa uchaza ngobulili ababubiza ngesilungu bethi yiTransgender.
"I-Transgender ngokwayo esintwini akuvamanga ukuba lamagama akuchazayo kodwa ngumuntu othi ngokuzalwa kwakhe umzimba wakhe umi neyinye indlela kodwa ubulili bakhe butsheyene lokuma kobulili bakhe ngokuzalwa.''
UNdlovu uchaza ngempilo yakho ukuba wazalwa eyinkazana kodwa impahla lokwenza kwakhe kwakungokwabafana.
“Mina kusukela ngimcane kwakukhanya ukuba ngihlukile labanye abazelwe benamankazana, enganikuthanda lempahla kwakuhlukile, ebuntwaneni akulanto engakutshela kodwa nangizizwa ngingumfana kwakunzima ekukhuleni .''
UNdlovu uthi ubuTransgender abufanani lalabo abathandana ngobulili obufanayo.
"Abantu bayahlanganisa ubutransgender lobutane, kuhlukile akuhlangani lemizwa ngoba kuyinto ehlukile. Imizwa ayilani lokubayitransender. lnengi likuthatha inathi awuhlangananga ekhanda."
UNdlovu uthi kuleli akulandlela yokuthola usizo kodwa kweleSouth Africa lapho atholakhona usizo kulendlela ezilandelwayo.
“Okwakhathesi ezweni lethu akulandlela yokuthola usizo, usizo siluthola kwamanye amazwe kulenhlelo ezilandelwayo ukuze batholisise ukuba ukuleso simo."
Uchaze ukuba ngemva kwemithi enathwayo, umuntu uyahlinzwa ahambelane lobulili azizwa eyibo.
“Kuyafika kusibanga sokuhlinza lapho abakhupha khona amabele besakha isifuba sendoda, kuthi ngaphansi lakho uyahlinzwa uhambelane lobulili obutsha."
Zinengi inhlupho ezibhekane labantu abalesimo esifana lesikaNdlovu, asimuzweni ekuchaza lokho.
“Inkinga zikhona zinengi abantu abazinanzeleli, kusukela kuzambuzi zokusebenzisa, izitho eziyabe zinakaguquki, ukunena lokuphuma elizweni kanye lokuguqula amaphepha okuzalwa lezithupha."
UCaroline Mudzengi, umnane kaSam uchaza intokozo yakhe nesimo sikaSam esitsha.
“Kuyathokozisa ukubona isimo esitsha sikaSam usephila impilo entsha usephila ethokozile engalakuncindezelwa enhlizweni lasekupjileni kwakhe"
USikhulile Sibanda uthi uSam wabamazi kusukela kudala manje usebona engumuntu okhululekileyo njalo ojabule kakhulu kulezolo
“USam ngamazi kusukela kudala engakafiki ekuzazini ukuba uyiTrans, nemva kokuzinanzelela ngimbona esengumuntu okhululekileyo njalo ojabulayo kulakuqala"

Isisekelo selizwe asicaci ukuba sithini ngabantu abazalwa belezimo ezingahambelani lobulili babo kodwa kusuka kubenzima lapho sebefuna ukuguqula izithupha kumbe incwadi zokuzalwa lokutshada.
AbeTreat bathi baphakathi kokukhankasela ukuthola ezempilakahle kuleli kanye lokuthi imithetho ekhona ezweni icace ngezimo zabantu abalobulili obungahambelani lokubunjwa kwabo.
