We tell the story of our lives differently. When and who do we tell them to? What questions do we get asked? On what topics do we focus on? You may have family, school experiences, career and friendships with our identity don't do nearly as much as the issue of gender identity – which for most people is a matter of course – and all other topics will be dealt with on this basis. In this book, five transsexual people describe their lives.
They tell their stories against the background of their gender identity and construct their biography around the desire and the necessity to assign the sex of the body to the perceived, inner identity. Five life stories show unusual ways of finding one's identity.
