ADIL (22) is Manchester's self-proclaimed finest femboy! He's known for his raunchy outfits, glamorous makeup, and all-around sassy personality, which makes him stand out in every room he is in! Adil told Transformed: "If I walk into a room and no one is giving me a dirty look, or looking me up and down, I need to go home and change! I need to put some more makeup on, I need to get my lips done again! I'm me, and I'm not apologising for it!" Despite Adil's fierce confidence and outgoing personality, he has faced adversity due to the style he chooses and his sexuality. Not only has he faced judgement in public, but he has also had to make the brave and difficult decision to turn his back on many people in his life. Adil said: "I grew up in a Pakistani muslim household. It was alright growing up until I had these feelings of being gay and suppressing myself for so long. I had to turn my back, but low-key, it made me really strong as a person. It's the best thing I've ever done in my life, I'm free now". Today, Adil wants to strip back the spicy femboy and embrace his Pakistani heritage for the very first time. Adil's plan is to get his best friends Megan and Zheinab to the bar where he works, but as he enters, they are going to be in for the shock of their lives! But will Adil feel like he's finally been able to embrace his Pakistani culture?
