"Making scandal is her job. But Maurizia Paradiso, the most famous Italian trans, who for over twenty years has been the queen of trash nights on local TV, this time throws the mask of irony and provocation that have made her famous. And she lays herself bare seriously, exposing herself in a raw, ferocious, ruthless book.
She describes her difficult childhood with her mother and problems with a boarding school where she suffers the torture inflicted by a priest. And again the beatings and adolescent loneliness. The dramatic decision to change gender when no one in Italy had yet done operations of this kind.
Maurizia recollects step by step all the offenses, humiliations, and harassment suffered when an outcast transvestite becomes the forbidden object of desire. Maurizia does not make discounts to anyone, digs and tells, cuts to the chase, and reveals without any fear. Now at the halfway point of fifty-one years, she can afford to enter the University of Palermo and hold a seminar of three lessons on transsexualism."
