Original title: "Le Corps étranger ou l'Aventure transsexuelle" (The Foreign Body or the Transsexual Adventure) by Myriam Dechevrens.
In 1935, in Geneva, a boy, Jean, was born into a family of workers. Very early in his life, he realizes that he is not like the others. Why isn't he a girl, like his younger sister?
He will undertake a quest for his identity that will take him thirty years. Then he will get his operation and his change of marital status.
In the book, we will find, in addition to many digressions on the phenomenon of transsexualism, a bibliography on the subject, legal references, as well as a commentary on works written by other people, men, and women, on the subject.
