Original title: "LadyMen. Una donna racconta le trans (Saggi)" (LadyMen. A woman tells the trans (Essays)) by Isabella Marchiolo.
"Ladymen" is a survey of human reality, that of trans people, linked to the social changes of our country, but still reductively combined only with the scenario of degradation and crime news, especially after the recent sexual-political scandals.
This investigative book with an unusual tone, tells not only news stories but, above all, stories of humanity, as the author wants to dispel prejudices and overcome the aseptic nature of statistics. Thus we discover a change in the "secret" attraction relationship between males and transsexuals, contrasting relationships within the transsexual community, but also solidarity between those who are born female and those who, going through the transition, will be put back into the world by correcting an error of nature.
