Original title: "Att Leva Som: En Bok Om Att Leva Som Transperson Och Som Partner Till En Transperson" (Living as: a book about living as a transgender person and as a partner to a transgender person) by Helena Lindström.
"The book contains powerful stories of transgender people about their own lives as and in relation to a transgender person. It also addresses the scientific aspect of being transgender and provides some practical advice and tips for transgender people. At the end of the book, there is also a list of addresses to various organizations.
What drives some people to live as the opposite sex? There are few Swedish books about the phenomenon of transvestism, transgenderism, transgender, crossdressing or whatever you want to call it. At the cinema, cabaret, and on stage, we occasionally meet mainly gentlemen in more or less imaginative women's creations. The film's imitators of women and the female characters of the After Dark gang have both amused and worried. Common to them all, however, is the parody, the joke, and the slightly ridiculous thing about gentlemen in women's clothing."
