"The book presents transsexual life stories with texts and photos, it was published in 1994 by Konkursbuch-Verlag.
The author Holde-Barbara Ulrich and the photographer Thomas Karsten portray 13 transsexual people, 10 trans women and 3 trans men, aged 24 to 64 years on almost 170 pages.
In the foreword, we can read:
We have chosen thirteen of the exciting life stories in words and pictures for the volume because we believe that they are exemplary for many others in their almost unbearable injuries, their insane power of hope, their blissful transformations, their gender euphoria - their simple longing for love and life. It is our wish that the portraits of these people may help those affected to find their way out of their own diaspora. We also hope to be able to persuade the seemingly "normal" to help transsexual people and all those who are different to live with understanding and encouragement."
