This lady is brave. I like her. May she excel in whatever she plans.
She's so beautiful and confident. It's difficult not to respect her.
Yes true , beautiful en excellent lady , she's blessed
She's extremely brave and highly intelligent beyond her age
OMG so glad they didn't do surgery on Mercy. They would have caused her a lot of damage and probably life long pain.
Watched from Dallas TX USA. She is such a wonderful ambassador of knowledge, so needed in today's world. I am glad to find this channel also. Kenya continues to amaze me.
She is AMAZING! Indeed she is strong and confident. She has a message to share with the world 💪🏽💃🏽❤️❤️
This lady is so courageous and bold. She is knowledgeable and brave 🎉🎉
Mercy you are a smart lady your argument and conversation is full of facts, move out of machakos and speak out, we were all born not only to live but to leave a legacy baby girl live long leave legacy, I admire you mrembo you're bold and bright
This is an extremely intelligent gal.....it takes the glory and grace to have reached this far
My classmate let the star continue shinning as you create awareness to the world
Give me her contacts please
Mercy is courageous person,the spice pannel very professional they didn't hurt Mercy.Well done.
I hope similar conversations are given prime time coverage in major media houses in Kenya. We need it
Eric and your team. You handled this subject like the professionals you are. Very enlightening.
Latif, the GOAT including the rest of the panelists, your professionalism is top notch in handling this sensitive topic
She is so articulate..and honest...she will go far as a leader...not shying away.
She is eloquent and has a good knowledge about her condition.
Such a lovely and vibrant lady full of energy, and thanks to spice fm for giving her the platform to educate us about these rare occurrences
The strength, courage and bravery with Mercy is exceptional. Live life and conquer it.
She really handled her situation so brave. Beautiful and smart. May God continue to give her strength.🙏
A leader at machakos university
She is brave
I admire this individual. This interview was very informative and inspiring
Courageous, very informed and authentic Mercy. A very enlightening conversation for a COUNSELLING Psychologist.
my interpretation of the proverb is "Death is certain" means that inevitably we will die and while we know that it will happen it does not mean that we go to the grave and wait for death we keep busy living life etc
Totally agreed, l interpreted that way too
I want to commend Mercy. I am now understanding a new concept for the first time in my life. Thank you Mercy.
Ummm my lovely one, I respect you for who you are and what you are. The way you are explaining this issue yoooo. ❤ I Love You very very much. From Zimbabwe. God be with you in whatever you do . I repeat I Love You and I respect.
I love her courage. God has set aside her work for her. Mercy is special. May God bless her.
Philosophy has it that a "thing" is or is not. Such information gives me opportunity to make a critical thinking that beautiful soul like mercy have opened the philosophical thought to analyse life. The essence of being is so deep not being a man and woman, but soul and body, self motivation to achieve life dreams.
You are a bright girl. Fearfully and wonderfully made of the image of God .Go girl
So brave, focused, articulate. May God give you strength and wisdom for journey ahead.
She is phenomenal, go girl, you are destined for greatness
A delicate discussion handled as it deserves by experienced hosts. Well done.
This is quite informative and brave while at it. I concur that Intersex should not be bundled together with the other LGBTQ grouping because while the former is a misnoma of genetics, the latter is a matter of choice. What a wonderful soul (and at this young age) removing ignorance from many of us. May God bless you Monica
Wrong, if people can be born without the appropriate genitalia because of dysfunctional genetics (hardware), it follows that the same genetics can interfere with an individual sexuality mentally (software). All living things are afflicted with all manner of deformities but the sexual one is the most sensitive. Education is the only way to end the stigma of the LGBTQ people including the intersex, they're all creation of God, in his image.
You sound confused,seek clarity
From working with her ,to this interview,i love her energy and how she makes everyone around her happy... congratulations gal for pulling through
This girl is a charmer. Plus I see more order in Kenya than in my country, Nigeria. Big ups Kenya.
I love the courage this individual has,God bless you
Doctor wamalwa is my uncle...keep going...he made me meet atleast two intersex and made me understand them...kudos
This is an awesome interview that opens new frontiers of knowledge. Mercy is an intelligent spokesperson for many we never hear of. Articulate and very admirable. She will go places.
A beautiful person, a peaceful soul,an open heart,a sharp mind,an eloquent tongue..thats mercy.

A lot of advocacy is needed because we might have many people being stigmatised. Mercy keeps soaring higher and higher. Inclusion is key
She is so pretty
Monicah Mercy knows what she is saying. Great conversation. Andũ maĩle ũnenaa ũu na ndaĩya na kweleanwa.
One of the best interviews for Spice!! A great scoop from a very eloquent Community Leader. Well done
Great idea. Opening an office to assist intersex address their legal documentation. Awesome suggestion.
This lady is going places. You are brave and bold. May God bless you.
Very courageous lady
May God guide you
Where are the likes for her mother, more than a mother!
What special? People have their kids without legs, arms or conjoined twins! What are you talking about here
Strong 💪 confident, self assuring person. Dint leave it to the world to validate her existence. She took it upon her and built her life. Amazing attitude. Keep going the world has all the space for you. Much respect 🙏
The best interview ever❤ Mercy keep bringing the awareness in cause majority are suffering Weldone guy's this is what been missing in our community
Hi Mercy. You are our Kenyan child and a child of the universe. Live your life free, happy and healthy. Good and mature interview Spice👍🏾
Very strong character,people should lean to except and accommodate intersex it’s a natural phenomena
The courage is on another level
Kip on gal

I am facinated by the informations I got in this video. This girl is just wonderfull and the journalists are just fantastic ! They make me feel like visiting Kenya ! :D
Mercy, you are brave, beautiful, and confident. Proud of you. Keeping walking.
Best interview i have listened to recently. Well articulated, great questions and a brilliant young person who understands what she wants and genuinely wants to help others in a similar situation. Proud of you Monicah and hands down lots of respect for your mother who has brought up a confident young woman ready to take on the world
I love this gal she is a leader,,,,,you educate us.
Mercy for president!❤
She is very cute, smile nayo, i salute the mom
We need more sensitization on this especially so that Kenyans can be more supportive to intersex people. It must be so challenging to be intersex. Monica is a very talented and smart person!
The reason for LGBTQ was to hide such people but since we think LGBTQ is about men who are marrying each other which is rare,most of them are intersex
That youngster has done well on this interview excellent one of the best interviews at spice FM - great awareness of the condition as an intersex person kudos 👏🏿
Such a beautiful and informative interview, So proud of you Mercy, good works Spice FM!
A very enlightening conversation. Many of us know little or nothing about this condition.
Respect to this young lady , Mercy Mutheu. Great energy and awesome attitude from you. 👌👏👏👏
This is hard conversations to have but this lady/man is brave indeed..
Great host
I love her courage and boldness about her nature
Girl, you are beautiful and very confident. I wish you well, God bless you.
What a brave gal, sometimes it's not good to judge people from their looks, our society needs to be enlightened about intersex and transgender people.
There are the same people we call homosexual
Healing is knowing who you are,thanks Mercy for being an advocate ❤
Amazing Mercy
Wonderful conversation. There is beauty in diversity
Keep it up Mercy.
I love your courage darling..go go go
Hats off to the mum. God bless her soul
Wow at least have gotten my type, I'm an intersex too with same characters,yenyewe its not easy bt we just struggle to meet our end meet
❤
Mercy, this is great! Iam proud of you. Keep it up girl.
Your courage will help many others be confident and overcome the stigma. Big Up Mercy!
This is very informative.
Wonderful conversation
She's beautiful, courageous and confident ❤
She rocks !!!❤
She's an inspiration fr❤.
This is a very hot topic to talk about and we appreciate the fact that miss Mercy was able to come out to the show and discuss it. It takes a special individual to be able to accept things and communicate to people in a rather very taboo topic in our society.Thank you for highlighting this information and I appreciate the spice FM crew for doing this.All the relevant questions were asked.in my opinion.
i like how she approached her situation. but if you listen carefully the love from home was sufficient so parents take note have your kids back even if you don't know what they are going through.
Bold conversation.
The situation room asking all the questions that i would be afraid to ask myself
Touched & inspired. Tx, strength & besto dear Monicah. I hv been working with intersex folx in India fm 2017. (I’m a NQ, gender fluid Ace, writer & LGBTQIAP+ counsellor & co-founder of 2 queer grps.) Let us queer peeps be us. Rainbow salaams 🌈🍉💙
Such a wonderful conversation. Thank you!
Thank you for shedding light on a very sensitive topic.
My hats off to you God bless and keep you continue to hold your head high.
Acceptance of who you are is a victory
She looks beautiful at the same time looks handsome.
God's special creature ❤️
I don't see the handsomeness. She's fully feminine and beautiful
Mercy is a female with a large clit. I don't understand where the intersex is coming from. Sarah Baartman had the same features too. There is also a Kenyan lady with no vagina and identifies as a lady. Mercy's case has something to do with foetal development and hormones
I have a niece who is an Intersex shes 16 yrs. She grew up as a girl dressed, her mum did everything as a girl wearing dresses plaiting hair. When he turned 15 he started growing beards voice changed, no periods.
