Original title: "Trans* im Glück - Geschlechtsangleichung als Chance: Autobiographie, Medizingeschichte, Medizinethik" (Trans* in luck - Gender Reassignment as an Opportunity: Autobiography, History of Medicine, Medical Ethics) by Livia Prüll.
The author Livia Prüll is herself a trans woman and professional medical and science historian. In the sense of the 'practical turn' in the history of science, the influence of one's own life experience on the practice of science is accepted. Accordingly, the book deals with the author's own experience and at the same time provides results of the history of medicine and medical ethics. This is the only way to understand and empathize with the topic of 'trans identity'. It is thus a new approach to approaching the phenomenon.
