When the mystery was revealed, the Egyptian woman left her hometown.
Egyptian Sisa Abu Dawh hid her gender for more than 40 years and pretended to be a man in order to earn money.
Writes about this Lenta.ru .
After the death of her husband, she was left without earnings a few months before the birth of her daughter. Her family wanted to marry her off for the second time, but the 22-year-old girl did not want to start a family anymore.
To get a job, she had to hide that she was a woman. She wore a galabeya (long men’s outfits with wide sleeves) and a white turban. The woman worked on loading bricks and cement, and also engaged in construction.
She managed to pretend to be a man for 43 years. When the mystery was revealed, the Egyptian woman left her hometown.
In 2022, the Egyptian authorities presented her with an award for “perfect motherhood”.
Earlier it became known that in Iraqi Kurdistan, a brother shot a 23-year-old transgender woman. The police are investigating.
