T'When Marie Vigneault, a woman from Havre-Saint-Pierre with a bright future, and Marcel Leblanc, a child from Duplessis who has been given this name among many others, met, nothing predestined them to marry and have children.
However, they had a few, including Michel, their second, the first baby of the year 1961: a beautiful baby with a boy's body but a girl's personality, which Michel will discover soon enough.
Throughout this biography skilfully written by Jacques Lanctôt, we discover the universe of Michel Leblanc, his family, his loves, or rather his love – B. or Bibitte Électrique –, his professional life, his relationships, etc. Michel Leblanc unveils Michelle Blanc little by little, it is both a disaster and a liberation.'
He identifies as a woman. "Her biological belonging to the male sex and the subjective sense of sexual identity will continue to clash," the book explains. One day, she will tell Bibitte Électrique that if she died tomorrow, she would change sex. This will be the beginning of a quest. Surrounded by professionals, Michelle will learn that her feeling of being in the wrong body has a name, it is gender identity dysphoria, whose only possible treatment is sex reassignment.'
