Eva Vildosola Leo - Me llamo Eva: Mi lucha por ser mujer

2021, Eva Vildosola Leo, Spain, Spanish,

Original title: "Me llamo Eva: Mi lucha por ser mujer" (My name is Eva: My struggle to be a woman) by Eva Vildosola Leo.

Eva was born in the wrong body and didn't know why until she was eleven and first heard the term "gender dysphoria." From a very young age, she endured the incomprehension and intransigence of a society that drowns us with its impositions. After publicly denouncing an attack last year in Barcelona, the life of the well-known influencer turned upside down.

Her face began to appear in all the newspapers and televisions and thousands of people showed their support on social networks. In this book, she shares for the first time her life story and how she decided to become the woman she always wanted to be. This is a real testimony, which gives us the possibility of knowing through their eyes what it is like to grow up surrounded by prejudices.

But it is also a story in front of the mirror that speaks to us of solidarity, understanding, and love. Willing to help all people who are going through a similar process, Eva narrates her childhood, her change of identity, and how she has faced her recent gender reassignment operation because this is not only the story of a young girl but also the story of so many people who still struggle to accept themselves and be recognized in society.

On the opposite side, there is her family, especially her mother, who has always accepted her as she is and whom she considers her "guardian angel". Her mother has been her hero, her best friend. She's always been there and she's never put her in trouble for absolutely anything she wanted to do, including her transition.
