The unusual life of a Dominican Nun-Man named Frank Tavares is unarguably the most harmless yet weirdest story of anyone living with a secret identity. He lived as a nun, preached like one, and fooled the Church itself for 22 years.
After losing both his parents to a fatal car accident, a four-year-old Tavares was sent to the care of nuns at a convent in Santo Domingo by his poor grandparents. There, he was raised as a girl, since he allegedly had genitals so small that they were unnoticeable. Tavares, too, believed himself to be a girl, and began wearing girls’ clothes, adopted the habits of the nuns, and became engaged in the daily activities of the convent.
