Kenyans React as Kevin Kinuthia and Jony Reveal They Use Women’s Washrooms

Kenyan content creators Kelvin Kinuthia and Jony the Hairdresser have caused a big online debate after saying that they use ladies’ washrooms. Their comments have led to strong reactions from Kenyans, with many people discussing privacy, safety, and personal expression in public spaces.

The topic became widely discussed after Jony, whose real name is John Mokuna Mungai, spoke about it in an interview with media personality Kwambox on Thursday, October 22, 2026. During the interview, Jony explained that he uses ladies’ washrooms because many people mistake him for a woman. He said his feminine dressing, appearance, and soft voice often make people think he is female.

Jony added that he tries to avoid problems when he visits clubs. He said that before entering such places, he tells the bouncers and staff that he is a man. According to him, this helps prevent confusion and misunderstanding, especially if he needs to use the ladies’ washroom.

He said he prefers to be open in advance so that people are not caught by surprise.

After Jony’s comments, Kinuthia also joined the discussion and confirmed that he too uses ladies’ washrooms. His response made the conversation even bigger online, as many people felt the issue had finally been answered directly by both personalities.

Their statements quickly spread across social media and triggered mixed reactions.

Some people have strongly criticized the two, saying that men who dress like women should not use women’s washrooms. They argue that women’s privacy and safety could be affected if male-born people enter female-designated facilities.

For these critics, public bathrooms should remain separate and protected.

Others, however, have taken a different view. They say the issue is more complicated and that crossdressers also face challenges when using public spaces. These supporters believe people should be treated with dignity and that public facilities should consider different identities and experiences.
