Original title: "Julia: Mein Leben zwischen den Geschlechtern" (Julia: My life between the sexes) by Julia Prillwitz & Nina Job
She was born a boy. But when she was just ten years old, instead of the first whiskers, she grew breasts. She was mocked by her classmates and abused by her teachers. For all of them, Julia was an oddity, neither boy nor girl. But Julia decided not to decide. She didn't want to have her surgery completely turned into a woman, she didn't want to become a man.
She is Julia - not a man, not a woman - with her own, very special sexuality.
And that, in turn, allows her to understand the emotional and sexual relationships between the sexes much better than "normal" people can. Julia is a person who is characterized by a zest for life that has developed from the adversities of life and that nothing and nobody can harm. This book is the story of a very special person and a passionate plea for open dealings with sexuality, sexual preferences, and the actual or perceived differences between the sexes.
