Sade’s son made headlines when he decided to change his gender from female to male. He was born on July 21, 1996, as a girl but decided to change his sex to male recently.
According to him, the transitioning process from female to male takes a heavy toll on one’s emotions.
“This process is trying, tiring, painful, emotionally exhausting, physically exhausting, uncomfortable (like I can’t sleep like a normal human being rn lol) I often ask myself ‘why the fuck do I have to endure this to be who I am,’” he wrote. “But at the end of the day this is the path that was laid out for me and I’ll walk it to the end,” he shared in an Instagram post.
