'With this book I want to tell an honest and inspiring story for everyone who has to deal with a transition and show what this can mean.'
'In Finally Ellen, the successful Limburg entrepreneur Ellen Jansen talks candidly and in an accessible way about her life and the life-determining transition she has undergone.
Ellen is born in the wrong body. Even as a small child she feels like a girl while she is locked up in the body of a boy. Yet she stubbornly suppresses her gender dysphoria for years.
At thirty-five she finds herself as director of an energy company in a real man's world and is even about to marry a woman. But then she is – when the wedding suit has to be selected – in the Bijenkorf
Maastricht on the escalator towards the men's department attacked by a violent panic attack. Because to the outside world things may seem to be going well for her, she suffers from inexplicable physical complaints and goes through deep valleys mentally.
Ellen then realizes that the time is right to finally dare to be herself. She looks like a mountain against it but goes
the transition to women with full conviction. That Christmas she joins the table as a woman for the first time. Two years later, her physical and mental complaints have disappeared like snow in the sun and she feels like the happiest woman on earth.
Finally Ellen is an inspiring story about gender and identity.'
