Original title: "Man of vrouw, min of meer: Gesprekken over een niet-gangbare sekse" (Male or female, more or less: Conversations about a non-common gender) by Tim de Jong. The book was published in 1999 and republished in 2017.
Transgender people have become more visible in recent years. Nowadays, most people know a trans woman or transman from the TV or in their own environment. People who change gender are becoming more and more accepted. There are also people for whom both male / female boxes fit badly, which is less known. The variety of gender identities is much broader than is often assumed.
In this book, a diverse group of people speak. They talk about the limitations they experience as a result of the sex division, and about the path they have taken to shape a gender identity that is 'different'. In addition to the life stories, experts give their views on the shifting views on gender, in which the classical dichotomy increasingly has to give way to gender diversity.
