Original title: "Eindelijk Ellen: Mijn transitie naar de gelukkigste vrouw op aarde" (Finally Ellen: My transition to the happiest woman on earth)
'With this book I want to tell an honest and inspiring story for everyone who has to deal with a transition and show what this can mean.'
'In Finally Ellen, the successful Limburg entrepreneur Ellen Jansen talks candidly and in an accessible way about her life and the life-determining transition she has undergone.
Ellen is born in the wrong body. Even as a small child she feels like a girl while she is locked up in the body of a boy. Yet she stubbornly suppresses her gender dysphoria for years.
At thirty-five she finds herself as director of an energy company in a real man's world and is even about to marry a woman. But then she is – when the wedding suit has to be selected – in the Bijenkorf
Maastricht on the escalator towards the men's department attacked by a violent panic attack. Because to the outside world things may seem to be going well for her, she suffers from inexplicable physical complaints and goes through deep valleys mentally.
