Full title: "Ich bin (k)ein Mann: Als Transgender glücklich leben" (I am (not) a man: Living happily as a transgender).
"How can you be happy if you feel like a woman but have a man's body - or vice versa?
Transgenders, crossdressers or transvestites are commuters between gender worlds. They have a hard time understanding themselves and encounter incomprehension from others. They often suffer less from themselves than from the problems that everyday life brings with it when dealing with other people, especially their own family.
This book shows concrete ways to better self-understanding and gives tips on how to master the difficulties as an affected person and get more fun in life.
Jula Böge (born in 1960) knows the subject matter and writes from her own experience. She works as a lawyer in a large company."
In 2014, I interviewed Jula and asked her bout the book: "I wrote my book because so far most books by or about trans people have had a biographic approach. They are all people who made their way. But nobody has talked about the basics. Nobody has said about the difficulties to manage oneself and integrate the topic of trans identity into a partnership. I wanted a kind of guidebook, but it didn’t exist, so I had to write it myself."
