Original title: "Frau mit Nebenwirkungen: Transgender ohne Wahlfreiheit" (Woman with side effects: transgender without freedom of choice) by Inès Adler.
"She was an engineer, she was a dominatrix. She was a man, she was a woman. Macho and girl. All avenues were open to her, but she lacked courage. For over sixty years, my gender boundaries were blurred. Like hostile countries, constantly at war with each other.
Even as a child, I wanted to wear girls' clothes and quickly had to learn to hide my true self. The parents: hopelessly overwhelmed. In Germany's economic miracle, you had to achieve something. Children had to function. Therefore, this life story turns out to be a long, adventurous roller coaster ride. Due to a lack of enlightening information, I thought I was sick at some point.
