Analysis of Societal Disposition to LGBTQ using She Called Me Woman by Azeenarh Mohammed

The issue of LGBTQ rights and acceptance is one of the most controversial and debated topics in the world today. LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer, which are terms that describe people who have different sexual orientations or gender identities than the majority of society. LGBTQ people face various forms of discrimination, violence, and oppression in many countries and cultures, especially in Africa, where homosexuality is illegal in most nations and punishable by death in some. However, LGBTQ people also have stories of resilience, courage, and hope, as they struggle to assert their identities and rights in the face of adversity.

One of the books that gives voice to these stories is She Called Me Woman by Azeenarh Mohammed, a collection of 25 personal narratives by Nigerian queer women and trans-women who share their experiences of living in a society that is hostile to their identities and expressions. The book aims to challenge the stereotypes and misconceptions about queer women in Nigeria, as well as to celebrate their diversity and creativity. The book is a groundbreaking and courageous work that exposes the harsh realities of being a queer woman in Nigeria, as well as the societal disposition to LGBTQ people in Nigeria.
