Simone-Yvonne von Budzyn - Vom Supermann zur super Frau

Original title: "Vom Supermann zur super Frau" (From super man to super woman) by Simone-Yvonne von Budzyn.

Simone-Yvonne von Budzyn was born on 31 March 1939 in Berlin-Friedenau as a boy. After the stillbirth of a boy a year earlier, the mother longingly wished for a living son. A midwife was appointed for the upcoming home birth. She soon exclaimed happily: "It has a lily of the valley, it has a lily of the valley!" 

But what meant happiness and the fulfillment of all dreams for the mother was a trauma for Wolfgang, as the child was now called. Even as a small child, Simone felt like a girl and condemned, even hated, the male genitals. The father, however, wanted to turn the weak son into a real man and a successful athlete. Wolfgang obeyed and suffered. – Simone took on this ordeal as Wolfgang, because she wanted to suppress and hide her own inner urges and desires for her femininity.

Wolfgang rowed with world and European champions in a boat and achieved around 80 victories. In the end, after the fiasco for body and soul and the failed marriage, Simone-Yvonne von Budzyn became the woman she had always felt in herself through a gender confirmation operation in Munich in 1978. The superman against her will had finally become a woman. A great woman. A super woman.
