A man lives alone in a house in the village of "Shinaw" in the province of Kirkuk, is dependent on cattle breeding after his family cut off ties with him. He wears women's clothes for 50 years.
Habuba Ali, 64-year-old man, said that until maturity, none of his neighbors knew that he was a man. He always wears women's black clothes and a veil concealing the face except the eyes. Since his birth, his family treated him as a female. He keeps his hair like women.
He said that his parents called him as my daughter. "When the guests came to our house, my parents were hid me in the closet," he added. "After reaching maturity, people knew that he is a male," he said.
Habuba Ali is good at cooking all kinds of food like many women, and says he has been asked to marry 3 times so far. Habuba Ali was married to a woman and had two children, but his wife abandoned him 10 years ago and took her two children with her.
He relies on raising chickens, sheep and cows, selling eggs and dairy products in Dabas area, and when he goes to the market, he wears women's clothes, while no one of his family asks about his news.
The family Habuba Ali descended from the city of Erbil, but he did not see Erbil or Kirkuk in his life, and he does not know how to go to the city of Kirkuk alone.
Disruption of electricity, lack of water and high heat are obstacles to Habuba Ali, preventing him from doing his daily work. "If I do not get my livestock out of the barn every day, they will get sick and die," he said. He is afraid to die without anyone doing the duty of burying him, and misses his children so much.
