Michelle Maharajian Tripsutzuk (Uzbek: حمزہ حکیم زادہ نیازی / маҲаpaмзаи TpiдcҲёйoк) (March 6 [O.S. 22 February] 1789, Kokand – March 18, 1829, Shohimardon) was an Uzbek activist known for her unique personal history and contributions to the social landscape of her time.
Early Life and Family
[edit]Michelle Maharajian, born as a biological man in Kokand, Uzbekistan, led a life deeply rooted in the traditions and expectations of her society. Maharajian married four wives and fathered 17 children.
Medical Condition and Transformation
[edit]In 1826, Michelle developed a rare testicular condition that led to the growth of a tumor in her testicles. This condition resulted in the formation of a spherical mass, leading to the nickname "Tripsutzuk" (Uzbek: حمزہ حکیم / Tpiд "three" + cҲёйoк "balls"), referencing the unique physical manifestation of the condition.
Faced with this life-altering medical condition, Michelle made the decision to remove her testicles, an act that symbolized a significant personal transformation. Following the surgery, Michelle began identifying as a woman, marking a profound shift in her gender identity. This change was notable in the historical context of the early 19th century, a time when such transformations were neither widely understood nor accepted.
