Romario Wanliss and Steffan Zachiyah are best friends, who were both born female but have now transitioned and live their lives as men. BBC Newsbeat travels with them to their birthplace, Jamaica, to find out how their friends and family will react to their new identities. Despite the potential risks to their safety and not knowing how their relatives will react, the friends were determined to be open about who they are. Romario said growing up in Jamaica was “not about living - it was about surviving”. He felt like many transgender people from black or Asian backgrounds, were faced extra challenges. "I thought being Jamaican made it harder for me," he told Newsbeat. Romario said it took a lot of courage to tell his family as he feared violence and rejection. Romario, who is in his 20s, had already spoken to his mother about it and said she is 'extremely supportive of me now' but had 'mixed emotions at first'. He travelled back to Kingston to break the news to his sister and father who he hadn't seen for years. Romario had to plucked up the courage to tell his family that he was making a transition to be male. He was terrified how his father would react as they had always experienced a difficult relationship in the past. However his father cried and said he still loved him Steffan also found it difficult growing up as transgender in Jamaica. "I had to practically beg my sisters not to call me Stephanie," he explains. Steffan said: 'Being of a Jamaican background it is usually seen as an "embarrassment" to go against the norm. 'My parents were very traditionalised and this made it even more difficult to even explain what transgender is never mind telling them I was thinking about transitioning He left Jamaica 12 years ago, and has since returned, but he always made an effort to dress more feminine to hide the fact he was transgender. In 2014 he started his transitioning to a male. Steffan's Jamaican mother, who lives with him in Birmingham, has accepted his transition but didn't support his decision to return to Jamaica as a male. 'Her main concern is my safety.

NORTH LAUDERHILL, FLORIDA - January 31, 2015: Reggae Producer Kemar "Flava" McGregor issued statements in social media outlets Sunday affirming his legal right to release an LP containing songs from reggae singer Jah Cure . McGregor's statements were a response to Jah Cure's allegations that the LP was " fake ," and to the singer's urging of fans not to buy the album. McGregor has produced several songs with Jah Cure, and recently released re-mastered versions of the songs from the recording sessions as an LP, titled "Masterpiece." The LP was released Friday, January 22, 2016 on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify. Jah Cure stated in a Twitter post, published January 29, 2016, that McGregor released a "fake album," and posted the words "please don't buy" in reference to this album. Although Jah Cure does not explicitly claim that he is referring to the "Masterpiece" LP in his tweet, "Masterpiece" is the only new Jah Cure album that has been released by McGregor. Jah Cure's tweet appears to issue a warning to McGregor, with the substance of the warning continued in an Instagram post, which contained a broken link at press time and was not viewable. McGregor, presuming that Jah Cure's tweet referred to the "Masterpiece" LP, replied to Jah Cure's claims, stating that he owns the master recordings of the songs on the LP, which gives him full rights to re-release the material as a new production. McGregor also stated that he has registered the songs in the United States Library of Congress. Referring to Jah Cure's allegations, McGregor said he was told "off-the-record" by a Jamaican music-industry official, whose name McGregor has withheld, that the controversy was launched by a well-known, New-York based reggae label that recently was involved in a copyright dispute with McGregor. McGregor believes the New York-based label is retaliating against McGregor by influencing Jah Cure to interfere with his efforts to retail the "Masterpiece" LP. "Every time these artists come out with such allegations, I know it is [the New York-based reggae label] advising them to do it, because I cut all ties with [the label], and I have stopped licensing my music to them," McGregor said. "These songs have been out for years. This is not a new release. My company has full rights to release the record, and we have accounted Jah Cure's royalties to his publisher, Susan Deleon, from Real Reggae Music Publishing. I have proof for all these statements that were accounted to her." Jah Cure's statements were published in an article January 29, 2016 on IrieFM.net. Although Jah Cure has not explicitly claimed that McGregor's release is illegal, his implication that the album is "fake" carries the connotation that the LP is an unauthorized, or "bootlegged" release, McGregor said. For this reason, McGregor issued media statements announcing his intention to sue Jah Cure for slander and/or libel if he does not relinquish his accusations publicly. "Jah Cure has [implied] in the media that I do not have the rights to release the songs I produced with him," McGregor said. "Jah Cure, I paid you to record these songs, and all these songs are copywritten in the [U.S.] Library of Congress. If you don't withdraw your statement and continue to tarnish my reputation, I will file defamation of character and slander charges against you in the United States."
