"I was not born this way. I changed slowly," he said.
According to him, the decision to portray himself as a woman came to his mind during a civil war in his country in which gangs were targeting men.
"I heard a voice from the heart telling me to dress up like a woman. Then, one day, the perpetrators knocked on my door, looking for the man of the house. But I told them only women lived there, and when they searched the house, they did not find the man, and they left. "

"That is why we have a big family," Denyse said to defend her husband.
The woman said their lifestyle has helped them cut costs in terms of their wardrobe because they both wear feminine clothes.
Everyone wears the same clothes, so no one has their own clothes. Everyone wears whatever they want," she added.
