'If transsexualism is no longer a mental illness, transsexuality, a term that replaces it today, does not shed more light on what this inexplicable affection is. Even as "affection" becomes obsolete to speak of what henceforth would be a "right" of men and women to change sex.
The gap is obvious between pathology and fantasy, between suffering and whim. Questioning her experience, the author crosses the points of view of academics and transsexuals to achieve an atypical synthesis. Without complacency and with a fresh look at the issues of gender identity disorders, she provides a series of questions that are often new. She questions us and challenges us on the upheavals that could sign the abolition of genres."
