Original title: "Favolose narranti: Storie di transessuali" (Fabulous storytellers: Stories of transsexuals) by Porpora Marcasciano.
'This book reconstructs through the story and the testimonies, the transsexual experience in our country, its change over time, but above all, the emergence of the transsexual phenomenon in its current complexity.
The stories of the heroines who offer us a clear image of the transsexual reality in Italy, bringing out the human, social, psychological, and political implications, are flanked by the interventions of some privileged witnesses who address the main problematic issues of the trans experience: the relationship with the gay world, with feminism and lesbianism, with services and social and work integration, with entertainment, with science and medicine. A book that dismantles prejudices, simplifications, political exploitation.'
