Original title: "Julana - Endlich Ich!: Mein Weg vom Jungen zum Mädchen" (Julana - Finally me!: My path from boy to girl) by Julana Victoria Gleisenberg.
The children's book was written by the 11-year-old trans girl Julana. Loving illustrations explain the topic in a child-friendly way. A small lexicon of terminology, written in child-friendly language, will complement the children's book.
Trans children are an integral part of our society. Unfortunately, they still have a hard time because their environment sometimes reacts negatively and with incomprehension to their special needs for self-determination. The children know in their innermost EXACTLY who they are, or who they are not. Your personal environment is often not willing to accept this knowledge. Conventions, prejudices, and old thought patterns stand in the way of deep understanding and acceptance. This often leads to devastating effects on the personality development of the children, or to mental disorders. Therefore, it is very important that our society finally wakes up and recognizes and understands the needs of trans children. An important function in this context is played by parents, siblings, grandparents, teachers, educators, and all persons who move in the environment of a child. The children's book can be used for work in school classes.
