I don’t care if we are blood relatives. I will block you if you use the wrong pronouns – Nigerian transgender Miss Sahara warns

Nigerian transgender beauty queen, Miss Sahhara, has issued a stern warning to people, including her blood relatives, to stop misgendering and deadnaming her.

The Benue-born beauty queen gave the warning in a post on her Instagram story on Friday, March 14. 

“If you deadname me or use the wrong pronouns, because you think you knew me when I was in Nigeria, or you claimed we went to school together, or you helped bring me out of my mother’s vagina! I will gladly block your stupid ass! I don’t care if we are blood relatives!,” she wrote.

“Disrespect begets disrespect. It has been 21 years since I left that godforsaken trash of a hell hole!

“I have been living my life as Sahhara longer than any rubbish assigned name/gender at birth.

“So don’t you dare disrespect me with your stupidity! Clowns.”
