Keep off The Money Issue

Its not about money lust that a man fake to be a woman; several factors must be behind this decision.
A Kenyan man from kiambu county set the social media ablaze days ago when he was arrested in a night club faking to be a woman. In the video clips circulated online, the man is seen to have well made make ups on his face, red-lipstick on his lips and a well made hair. The man is dressed in a long dress and posses in a manner that not anyone can suspect his gender since she looks quite beautiful in his make ups and the long dress too. The guy is said to have robbed several thirsty unsuspecting men in his faked identity by giving them dates and refusing to turn up on the grounds that 'she' was on her periods.
This kiambu man's case is not the only case that has been reported here in Kenya. June 21st this year, another man from Kalenjin land - Kelvin Kosgei was too arrested in a night club where he had faked to be a woman and conned men in a similar manner. These two cases represent many more cases, both here in Kenya and outside Kenya that go unreported or even unnoticed; thus there is a great need to finding out the root cause of such a behavior
For sure, money alone cannot be the root cause of such malicious behavior, and in my view, before judging such characters, we should cross check their upbringing - right away from birth, all the way to where they are right now; more so the early childhood experiences since they play a major role in our personality as outlined by psychologist Sigmund Freud in his analysis of Psychosexual stages of personality development. In his analysis, Freud identifies five stages that people go through right from birth upto adolescent stage, and argues that the trainings that we get in this stages matter alot as to what type of people we become when we grow up.
The decision of a person to hate his or her gender and wish that he or she was of the opposite, and go to an extent of cheorographing to be a member of that particular gender is a pregnant matter. It is a communication that such a person hates his or her gender, and thinks that it is an advantage being of the other gender rather than the present gender. It involves several factors which may be unconscious, and should not be taken lightly or attributed to money desire only. There is need for public enlightenment on gender issues.
