After the Golden Route winning TV series of the same name, "Jentene på Toten" became a concept. Stensveen resource center at Kapp, run by Marion Arntzen and her husband Harald Sundby, has for 14 years supported many transgender people in living as who they define themselves as.
After the TV series, the whole of Norway got to experience what it means that all people have the right to define themselves. The girls at Toten received the Homofryd Award 2010. Marion and Harald were awarded the YS Gender Equality Award 2010. In Male is then Woman, we meet transgender people who are at different places in their processes. In diary form, they tell of the struggle to understand themselves, their joys and sorrows. Man is then woman is a unique story about individuals who fight to be able to respect themselves and to be respected for who they are.
