Original title: "Ce corps n'était pas le mien: Histoire d'une transition tant attendue" (This Body Wasn't Mine: The Story of a Long-Awaited Transition) by Béatrice Denaes.
This is a fascinating book. This is how the author described her inspirations. Thanks to medicine, my body has finally become mine, the one it should have always been. It was a new birth - 13 February 2019. This day, for Beatrice, is a second birth. It marks the moment when her body is finally in line with who she is, who she has always been – a woman.
Born Bruno, she lived under this identity until her sixties, combining professional and family life as a son, brother, husband, father, then grandfather. However, as far back as she can remember, Bruno has always felt a form of discomfort, strangeness to her own body, and difference: deep down, she feels like a woman and knows that she was born in the wrong body. In the aftermath of the operation that changed her life, Béatrice begins the story of this long journey of suffering, questions, doubts, and sometimes despair, before discovering, thanks to the internet, her gender dysphoria, then making the decision to engage in a transition process.
