Frank Tavares

unknown Dominican Republic

Frank Tavares is a Dominican man who lived as a nun under the identity of 'Sor Margarita' for 22 years, starting from the age of four after a tragic accident that left him an orphan. Raised by nuns who treated him as a girl due to his appearance, Tavares later discovered his true identity as a man during adolescence. His life took a dramatic turn when he developed romantic relationships with fellow novices, leading to his expulsion from the convent in 1979. After leaving, he learned that his partner, Silvia, was pregnant, but he lost contact with her and their child. Tavares continues to work as a tailor and has written a book about his life, entitled 'La monja desvestida.'
