The book deconstructs stereotypes related to transgender people by presenting 46 portraits of trans* people from all over Switzerland.
The portraits consist of a photograph taken by Noura Gauper and an interview conducted in one of the three main national languages by a professional journalist. They concern 23 women and 23 men, 20 in French-speaking Switzerland, 20 in German-speaking Switzerland and 6 in Ticino.
In concrete terms, our goal is to fight against discrimination and exclusion of transgender people at the social level. Currently, the suicide rate among trans* people is 10 times higher than that of the cisgender population and unemployment is 6 times higher. This work, which lasted more than two years, shows that trans* people, if they can be themselves, are perfectly integrated people, no different from the rest of the population.
