During the interview, Thando Mokoena suggested that people explore same-gender relationships to understand themselves better and break free from society’s expectations.

“Everyone, well, who's within their right and is curious should experience experimentation with the same sex or same gender. I feel like it's a way of discovering yourself. So yeah,” she said.

Thando Mokoena shared that she had experimented with women before, and because of that experience, she discovered her sexuality. Thando Mokoena said she is a pansexual woman, that is, a person romantically attracted to people regardless of their gender.

“I have indeed, and I now know that I am a pansexual woman. And so I had big bad experimentation, helped me figure out more about myself,” Thando Mokoena disclosed.

She clarified that she started experimenting at the age of 12, and when she got older, it became clear to her that she was pansexual.

“Oh, I didn't experiment at this age, but I did kind of like become curious at the age of like, 12. I was like, OK, like there's clearly some attraction and then. When I got a bit older, it kind of confirmed it for me,” Thando added.
