Original title: "Evviva la neve. Vite di trans e transgender" (Long live the snow. Trans and transgender lives).
'This book narrates gender transitions, the mysterious and flashy struggle of transgender people, it enters the operating room and captures the moment when sex vanishes, when the penis is demolished and its tissues are to be used to build the vagina: "If it weren't for the red color of the flesh, Daniela could be an angel. Daniela is sexless."
The discomfort you felt for that tiny moment imagining such a dramatic thing is what we feel every day. It's not fun, is it? Each of us has suffered that discomfort for years, others for decades, and you, pointing at work, on the street, do nothing but increase it, so as to become ruthless executioners. These lives are offended by prejudices that shake our consciences, says Giovanni Bachelet. Voices lashed by the rigors of social frost that can suddenly loosen, even vanish, if suddenly, soft, snow falls.'
