This testimony is the fruit of the interviews conducted by Jeanne Nolais and Catherine Rihoit. The main character, Jeanne, retraces her life, from her childhood to all events and experiences leading to a transition.
Jeanne Nolais's autobiography was written together with journalist Catherine Rihoit, as Jeanne was not a writer and needed support to organize her ideas.
Jeanne wrote her story at the age of sixty-four of age, four years after gender reassignment surgery. For her, her autobiography had the purpose of opening a space of existence and social recognition. For us, it is a record that invites dialogue and a look at transsexuality.
Right from the start, Jeanne refers to two possible paths for transsexuals, either to hide or show off like circus animals. There are not a variety of options to choose from, when you are transsexual, society does not recognize transgender people and wants nothing to do with transsexuality.
