She said people have different feelings about who she is, adding that they can say whatever they want.

Julian said: "Someone told me that I should go somewhere to be prayed for. Another person said that because I come from Ukambani [a region that is stereotypically linked to witchcraft] then my grandmother had something to do with this."

Julian's vaginal canal was constructed in 2018, meaning she can have sexual intercourse, but she said she is not ready for that now.

She added: "Neither am I ready to get married. If we wanted to have children we could adopt."
