Original title: "Vouloir être: transsexuelle, femme et mère" (Wanting to be: transsexual, woman and mother) by Marie-Josée Enard, afterword by Catherine Rihoit.
This incredible story raises many questions. The truth is that the child is hermaphrodite: the sex of angels. But angels, we love them in heaven, that is to say dead, they have absolutely no place here below. Marie-Josée dreams with such force that it becomes real. And yet she has to wake up. And when she wakes up, she's in the middle of a nightmare.
As in the past, when the other children refused to play with her and called her a “chick”, they point the finger at her, they don't give her a job. They reproach her for having prostituted herself, and they push her to return to prostitution. Because if there is one thing that disturbs more than monsters, it is a monster who says he is like you and me.
