Original title: "Das dritte Geschlecht: Transsexuelle, Transvestiten und Androgyne" (The third gender: Transsexuals, transvestites and androgynes) by Birgit Bader, Ben Behnke, and Christin-Susan Back.
"Transsexuals, transvestites, and androgynes: They live among us. For many, only accepted as artists in transvestite shows, seen as a marginalized group in everyday life, and often socially ridiculed and despised. In twenty intense conversations with transsexuals and their environment, this book shows the lives of those who are convinced that they are living in the wrong body. It's about discovering one's own transsexuality and processing it. Those affected talk about the difficulties, but also about the possibilities of gender change."
"The sensitive photographs portray them in their real lives and in their dream worlds. The advice section is based on practical questions and gives tips from everyday tests to the possibilities and risks of the operation. Addresses of counselling centres throughout Europe and a literature list make this book a helpful guide for all those affected and interested."
