"Changing sex, for Bruno Colliaux, was not a whim of "great madness" but a cruel ambiguity of nature. Treated as a beautiful little girl in childhood, stuffed with male hormones at puberty to develop her male organs, this androgynous character never supported manly attributes that did not correspond to her deep reality. Not to mention the look of others, the loneliness, the impossibility of confiding. Neither "gay", nor "straight", neither man nor woman, she had to choose.
Duly followed by psychiatrists and understood by her management at Air France, a few black sheep aside, Bruno began his feminization. And Andréa tells us the tragicomic stages of this mutation, the painful hair removal, a new hormonal treatment, the preparations for the operation, but also the social difficulties (in her passport, "she" is always "Bruno", then at the borders...), and the clothing details: girl, so be it, but when you measure 1.85 ni and you wear 41, it is better to avoid miniskirts and stilettos! The book is a testimony that is both moving and humorous, which challenges certain prejudices and unfortunate preconceived ideas."
