The beauty man Mickey Bogani who reveals his life in the tenth season of “Machobarim” broadcast on HOT, said in the program that “I am neither a woman nor a man. Groups of children run after me and ask ‘Mom, is this a man? Mom, is this a woman?’ Now, in a glimpse of the program that will be broadcast today (Monday), he sat down with his mother for a heart-to-heart talk, during which he burst into tears over what she had to say about his sexual orientation.
Boganim’s mother told him in the presence of the camera: “I was afraid for you. I was afraid for your life. Because I know that your life was then…yours. Today it is much easier, but 30 years ago it was not easy. My brothers and sisters too, they just wrapped You with love. No one dared.. probably because I projected ‘Be careful if someone says a word or hurts Mickey’.” Boganim answered her: “And you weren’t angry about the life I chose?”.

She replied: “You didn’t choose. You didn’t choose. I researched and asked psychologists and doctors a million times, I also read, it’s innate, there’s nothing you can do. It’s not a choice – neither yours nor ours.” “I wish every mother a son like that. A big soul. You can be happy that you have a supportive family and loving sisters.” Boganis, happy with tears, answered her: “No, I’m happy, I was excited.”
