'Paul is in his mid-forties and has been married to Julia for twelve years when he confides a secret to her. It is his very own secret that has existed since childhood. Paul is a cross-dresser – and this is the flattering term for a transvestite. Because that doesn't sound so medical and fraught with prejudice.
For Julia, as an unsuspecting partner at his side, the world does not collapse. On the contrary - it makes her curious and for her this is the answer to many questions she had asked herself about her husband, who was suspected to be in a life crisis.
In the end, Julia and Paul realize that they are not alone with this topic. Every tenth man in Germany is said to be transgender. They are husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, and nephews. Surely you know such a special person in your environment – but without knowing it!
It would be desirable if our society dealt with this issue more openly. Because cross-dressers are not grubby monsters – they are simply men who want to live out a different form of expression of their personality. What can be wrong with that?'
