Hans becomes Hanne. "I'm not crazy. I am a girl!" is a great book. The child loves to dress nicely, play with the other girls on the street and turn their hair into artistic hairstyles during boring lessons. He dreams of attending home economics school after primary school.
In his brother's inn, he enjoys the hours spent together with the waitresses and cleaning ladies, the whispering, and the conversations about female topics from an early age. All this is not unusual for a girl born in the late fifties in the conservative East Holland province.
There is only one problem. The child's name is Hans and is, at least biologically, a boy... After decades of inner struggles that lead him to the brink of suicide, Hans finally becomes Hanne at the age of over fifty.
