Crossdressing is called “an insult to Ghanaian culture!” by the NCC.

The growing trend of cross-dressing among Ghanaian male content creators has been strongly condemned by the National Commission on Culture (NCC) as a flagrant insult to the country’s cultural and moral foundations.

In a meeting with Realistic Showbiz, Delegate Leader Overseer of NCC, Dr Richardson Commey Fio, communicated profound worry about what he portrayed as an upsetting pattern. He said it was troubling to see people promote cross-dressing in the name of content creation, which he said Ghanaian society strongly disapproves of.

“It is exceptionally disheartening that we keep on encountering such ways of behaving that are an attack against our rich social qualities and standards. What’s more, for such an occasion to occur in Kumasi, one of the main urban communities in Ghana where culture and customs are held in high regard. This is absolutely unsuitable.”

“Certain terrible components in our general public who need to criticise our way of life and destroy the great moral fibre of our networks for parochial gains generally need to take cover behind a deceptive story of globalisation and innovation.”

Dr. Fio then criticised those who, in his opinion, use modernity and globalisation to justify actions that undermine Ghanaian society’s moral fabric.

He stated, “What happened in Kumasi is a complete disrespect for our Ghanaian culture and, more specifically, an insult to Otumfou Osei Tutu II, Manhyia, and all custodians of culture in the Ashanti Region and Ghana at large.”

That’s what he declared, while culture should advance with the times, individuals should be cautious in shielding the novel qualities of the attributes of Ghanaian character, it are not unduly compromised to guarantee such one-of-a-kind attributes.

Be that as it may, not every person shares the Commission’s view. In a new meeting on GTV, a malcontent maker, Deaconess Abokoma, whose genuine name is Ebenezer Arthur, tried to explain the inspirations driving dressing in drag, it was frequently misconstrued to contend that it.

He contended that dressing in drag was frequently confounded and wrongly connected with a secret plan. He argued that cross-dressing was frequently misunderstood and unfairly associated with ulterior motives. He also emphasised that the idea that cross-dressers were gay was incorrect because their unconventional attire was primarily motivated by their entertainment value.

“We’re not gay. We engage in it for enjoyment. We need to guarantee everybody that we distinguish as straight and don’t recognise ourselves as gay. For our purposes, sprucing up in female outfits and investigating different design styles is essentially a tomfoolery and imaginative method for engaging individuals.”

Notwithstanding the NCC’s solid position, Dr. Fio confessed to Realistic Showbiz that the Commission is presently missing the mark on lawful power to make an immediate move against such practices.

He made it clear that changes are being made to PNDC Law 238, which established the NCC, in order to give the Commission more authority to deal with these issues.

“We are making changes to PNDC Law 238 that created the Commission. We also believe that once that is completed, we will have the authority to directly address some of these issues. Right now, the Commission’s command just permits us to denounce such demonstrations and carry them to the consideration of the fitting bodies for the important moves to be made.

The increasing number of male influencers who have publicly embraced female attire in the name of content creation alarms the Commission.

The daring display at the Ridge Condos All Black Party in Kumasi, where a number of male content creators bravely stepped out in women’s clothing and accessories, heightened the NCC’s concerns significantly.

The dubious procession by these drag queens at the widely discussed occasion has been met with shock by the Commission, which sees it as a huge affront to Ghanaian culture, especially in Kumasi—aa city eminent for its profound social legacy.
