Transgender women and men live among us, preferably incognito and with perfect "passing". What attitude to life do they have – before and after the outing, hormone therapy, and maybe even surgery?
Danièlle Weiss describes in clear and open words what it means to be transgender. She sheds light on medical, cultural, psychological, and personal aspects of the "third gender".
'Sometimes I jokingly describe myself as a test-tube woman, an artificially created being, born in the no man's land between the two poles of the sexes, eternally on the way to the woman in me, knowing full well that I will never quite reach her.'
Danièlle Weiss was born in 1955 in Kufstein/Tyrol. Early on, she was aware of her transsexuality but did not dare to live it out. She was married three times and had three children. After exhausting internal and external struggles and years of stays in Asia, which were also accompanied by expeditions into inner spaces of consciousness, Danièlle Weiss now lives in Kufstein again. In the meantime, she has gone the way from man to woman, with all the consequences, supported by her wife Mary, who has remained by her side. Danièlle has found her happiness.
