"Mi adolescencia trans" (My trans adolescence) is the Spanish language edition of "P. La mia adolescenza trans" (2019) by Fumettibrutti.
Josephine Yole Signorelli tells in this comic her own story as a trans teenager in the first decade of this century, struggling with the transformation of her body in the context of school, family, social life, drugs, prostitution of minors online and, finally, love. A long-awaited visceral autobiography destined to cause debate and leave a mark on the history of comics and trans bibliography.
This comic tells a very powerful and important story, and that Yole's story can make the average reader reflect on a lot of false beliefs that they may have about the trans reality.
