boy, but the gender she was assigned at 1st never felt right. as i started feeling something was wrong, as a child in that group much was and keep it takes 3. and then once i left home, i made the decision i'm fee now spend the old name no longer existed and i'm get dismissed. now we are accompanying the 13 year old on her journey to her new self look. almost 16 is trans. he experienced diverse reactions when he 1st came out of the term sense to me. so this being trans isn't really socially acceptable and you get put down a lot of my stuff. they'll always be people who once accepted this, you know, it's almost half a century since nora discovered her true identity. her transition to a new self began in west berlin in the 19 seventy's guess at 1st i have a 1000 questions. how would it will work to me?

it's just because it's not just about feeling yourself up and heading now. some of the towns are shaming ones, the ones who stop living your life as trend steps when the problems come on either because they put him on 3 trans people from 3 generations lose them. how did they want to live? these are their stories. the is a fee lives near frank foot. the cashier has been living as a woman for several years and there's no decided to have sex reassignment surgery. the operation is due to start soon. as often, opiates must be waiting almost exactly 6 months. my operation date and 6 weeks ago i called the letter saying the operation can go ahead. i'm going through with that to us. no compromises kind of, i'll be seeing it through to the end doors. it's what i want to just south

a 30 year old. finally has an appointment for her 1st of 2 operations. until now she's be making due with hormones, which is the 1st stage of the actual transition for most of those concerned the proximal, moist, crazy what the whole names do. i've been taking them for 4 years now and then lots has changed and there's a point where i don't see it myself anymore. without the steam. they say things like you've to come to the famine and you look extremely good. it gives me a real boost funding officer for the 1st few weeks after the operation. it will be up to 0 fee to make sure the turn huge and the tools retain their ability to function. the necessary stretching aids have already arrived. ok, hope college. now it's getting serious, it becomes really sinking in now quite most of these. i'm looking forward to this appointment. no,

i'm looking forward to my vagina. it's before and i'll be glad when it's all behind the same time. yes. those are fees been managing by herself for years. she certainly doesn't want to spend the days before and after the medical procedure alone, her best friend pascal will be keeping her company on the way to the university hospital. in essence, the may have happened. it's really important to me that my best friend is coming on because he's being that from the beginning. i don't think i to cope emotionally on my end tomorrow specializes. i probably came in and black out and we would see on my home. and that's the last thing she wants. she'd have to wait months for another appointment as lucca will be 16 in a few months. from a very early age, he felt he was a boy born in the girl's body. his family have receive psychological counseling and

they support his transition. in addition to vibration, prof, i take the call. i didn't go through a female puberty because it's i was put on hold on blockers. so as soon as it started, i should have done that stopped everything. and then after about 3 years i started taking testosterone and the to a very low doses, so that i could grow my outbox it. the testosterone will make his body increasingly masculine. flashback. we start with a comforting the 12 year old on camera back in 2019 luca was being treated by hormones. specialists don't serve as tough experienced. and why don't you stand over here and we'll see how tall you are. it's been an important stage, and lucas journey was the name change. oh, my old id card still says leona, you know, community, i'm leaving it here at last and it will be deleted. 2023

luca is once again on his way to the end, the chronologist doctor. first off, we specializes in the treatment of children and adolescents and handbook in view of the risky procedures is crucial for dr. first health. the patients be thoroughly informed the incidental from the incidence of transport as has arisen significantly in recent years, quotes and 70 percent of young people who come to us are transported from early childhood. luca was a typical trans boy with typical boyish behavioral patterns on that. i'm much more confident with that and then when somebody suddenly discovers this trans issue during puberty at the age of 12 or 13 and comes to me saying, i saw this youtube video and then everything was clear to me video because in well, that's when the alarm bells go off in my head, so i mean the alarm clock in the expert works closely with psychologist as like the therapist to reload snap judgments. good

luca and his mom are also accompanied through the process to phoenix, 555. and i had lots of doubt, especially when it started with the woman blow, cuz we didn't start with the test just around which we gave home and broke is quite handy on it. and funny because the oldest sister started puberty really. and that's exactly what i wanted to spend my child out of everything he was expressing what's right was just points close to making his name well dressed as a short have of them tonight to going to the boys to him to, to let the i thought they were all phases where you could see he was guessing happy lucretia in the mid seventies that was already clear to nora the she wanted to go through life as a woman, but it wasn't too many years later that she fully came out today. her trans identity is an important part of the 69 year old life just as i make sure that to speed 50 next neighbors came important to me relatively late in 2018,

2019. when retirement was approaching and i was planning this new phase of life for it, i wanted to become visible, is the trans person piece of united being visible domestically became linked with activism by that. so i mean something up for the interesting says, trans people, because that's even, this is just to educate mainstream society and that's very important to me and it's making my last stage of life feel quite meaningful names of shit i'm going to present on said nora was 19 when she moved to west berlin, soon she was working in a night club, the legendary issue when we have, they are surrounded by other trends. people. the young woman is freely express or so. yeah, i know we all have tremendous self confidence and as far as mainstream society goes, we didn't see little, well they might have seen those, those freaks. but that wasn't a problem because it was that problem. and this like the so all as a to 12, to pull things they've no idea of the cost for the biggest disadvantage. and the

seventy's was being excluded from the regular labor market. so it really was the case that trans women mainly left at night stuff. so with various options, sort of cool side of lights have continued in my day job. this stuff has been possible. i was working in the lodge bookshelf at the time, but there was no chance of staying that of a as far from obviously stories that supplied 6 years after her transition bureau left the night light behind and no covertly trans started working as a secretary. she wrote several books as an opera critic to day. the active seems to dispel prejudices about trans people, closer to i think, and lots of people are sourcing from a false premise when they say that trans means living in the wrong body. and i say, i've never had that feeling, i can use it for all the body we have and the solve both e and we can never leave as a cub. i've never had the feelings that i'm

a deficient being that not something. on the contrary, i felt i was given something in addition to my body's gender, a different gender identity. so i am body humidity. i'm to masculinity at the same time. i mean, i think that's pure luxury, 400 offices. it's october 2022. so fee is on the way to a new body to model with the trends when will undergo sex reassignment surgery firms, i'm supposed to report somewhere and that's a good time for well and just a moment here at s and university hospital sex reassignment surgery for trans women has been a routine operation for years. the fees, best friend pascall, who has traveled with her for emotional support is still laurie's field citizens are leaving for them. and so she's a very loving person quarter semester. he's not my big sister to them. we've gone

through everything together, joy, fear, pretty much everything that's himself. and by fear, i think she's my best friend of the fees. main concern is to have a body that sexually female. but she also hopes the upcoming medical procedure will lead to more acceptance in everyday life. somebody's display stuff when i did so. so those not the every day instances where yes, your try me, i'm in the most a woman. you'll never be a woman to find a bit of makeup plan to make one on the comments as i've heard a to find. because once i've had surgery been this trends thing is done with the good to me. so that, that this, even if a lot of people will probably still say i'm transgender, tungsten, that step is the, for my, for me, the word transgender, or trends. one to exist anymore. it's listed on the summer.

in the afternoon to feed meets her surgeon, professor has do you have any questions before the operation tomorrow, how the i'm really worried about being able to feel the need of either because i've best be on my own. well, we've asked our patients about that after the operation, when that is phones with us, the about 96 percent said they had some feeling and the quite a risk compliment from them helping tactic and around 90 percent say they were capable of oregon and i felt i've got the most face and okay, that's reassuring. there are various theories or why increasing numbers of people are identifying as trends. the doctor has a simple explanation. for one session, 20 years ago, many people didn't even realize that this existing account i myself had little or no contact with it before i came here to the clinic 15 years ago. and so i also had to learn how to deal with the topic over the, at the time. i think social acceptance has improved and people are more informants

. think about them, that's why there are more people who can find the word or how they feel it. and look as though it's a new school where he has to repeat his high school diploma. so he todd, how was school? good, yes, that's that. okay, now and what time look, our newest, there's prejudice against trans people. mentioned so enough english in public i'd never say i'm trans. i didn't say openly at school. you just have to be careful who you talked with most people. it's better not to say anything because once you cite you'll the outside and then your mom. i'm bullet 12 and all that was going to i'm luca already experienced this in 2019. when he came out in his film the you'll have to take test of june for the rest of his life does not bother him. smile. it's close to us. ok. i

have asked me to us and i have to take my asthma spray every morning or so, and it's exactly the same, but it's just normal for managed on. so i can't imagine life without it not. and it just upsets. if i stop taking it, everything would reverse in my body, and i go through female puberty truth and legacy provides a it's on and then you certainly don't want to not do that. no, i don't want that in these for look at the moment is all about his identity and having the right body body. he's becoming more and more comfortable with my nice looking one to see my ice hockey team, some notes and sometimes you know, concerned it's no more commit to shower with the team. just in my underway is not a problem to help. and, and i think that gets really great how they show consideration for make me name ice . hockey is a constant. and lucas light flash back back in 2019 we looked at

was 12. we accompanied him to training. there won't be much time for sport over the next few months. luca has to concentrate on school and leaving exams . the doors committed to the rights of trans people. a loss of her self confidence den some her job in the seventy's, the cloakroom attendant at the berlin bay club. she will meet her at this time, of course there was a sudden and secure seed in the beginning, especially going to work in the evening and coming back home in the morning. at 1st i tried to ignore the looks, but at some point i actually sold out eye contact. i wanted to be looked at the cook and gender reassignment surgery was never an option for the trends with nor i loves her body exactly as it is the finished dollars on that

makes pin house on the street and it's unlikely any one would think. i know some women open, but when i'm standing naked in front of the mirror, i know my body's not by entering. this is always labeled in congress, going as if the comp be female presses with male sexual characteristics. respect my, i don't see any contradiction. the not the see this other c as well, so that'll be the appropriate and not mine's, especially since the info for the one each. mine's still feels connected to the queer community tonight. so to are these days where she enjoys them all, the more of this feeling of being amongst equals try to say i never really played the exotic role with all my different i felt that i needed to live a normal life. maybe that was always the goal as different as i am. that should always be no sooner mine. so i did the most, i in the position,

i'd like to quit community to be seen this the although by mainstream society, but rather as a cultures and societies, that's where we belong in a multi 1st treatment 1st and on lifestyle as normal as any of them so nobody really surprised at all the div gender reassignment has come. first of the fee. the night for short is a fee hardly slept a wink. he can do this so so i'm already terrified. so don't worry, it'll be fine. you'll wake up later and think the final so you've been called right there for she's been wasting more than 6 months for this moment.

you'll hear on june. i'm here. now her best friend has to wait 2 hours. that's how long the operation usually takes. the final try out there for me. yeah, we were here about 2 or 3 years ago and already made all these preparations and the registration, the procedure waiting list and so on. and now the time has come. now we hear now it's plain via respect to the operation. how will it go? well, everything be intact through dog. well, that'd be feeding down death star gardens that's. that's the biggest thing. so fees, operation which is fully covered by health insurance proceeds without complications . and the doctors, prognosis is also favorable. the patient has a good chance of a feeling sex life. we know from the follow up surveys of our patients, that there are also holistic changes within that open. and even if only the

genitals have been operated on it, obviously a lot happens before surgery are far from the essential things happen before the coming out, the psychological aspect. and also the hormonal situation, if you look at the surgery, is only a small part in the front, but it still gives another boost to the holistic female feeling vipers, hampton, summer, 2023. luca has graduated from high school and has already been accepted for an apprenticeship as a piano meeker. well done on your graduation dining with his grandmother remembers his childhood on these feeling when you 1st have a go and to do the switch, he has style. the praises and so on. but then you just accept him and that's it. he's a boy spend the rest is in the past just because after hawk by the monopolist and some of the split up by the basketballs. and it wasn't something you gave much

thought to just because it was more of a gradual process of development. as one of my part, i saw him as a very strong person because he always knew who he was. but despite the obstacles in his way, of course that will always setbacks where you thought to yourself is a big sister. i'd love to give that person a piece of my mind for me because it was hurtful of course, but i notice i felt like to touch on what were the setbacks among other things pulling at school. the flashbacks lucas group ultimately if it be trans and a silver item 4 years ago, get spots. so it does. how do i to find him to cook top? so a few people, so my film done and they handled it really well on the edge of them. i know mitch can i ask me, of course, and i thought i shouldn't deny it or anything to gain just admitted openly with

them. but then we talked about it a little, it was a huge release. them could be that they kind of formed bone at the noon of canal i prefer being around people who know about it. and then the ones who don't submitted on the look at has achieved a lot the issue of sex reassignment surgery is still on the table as being fund discontinuance of chance of who is definitely good to have the option because then you can decide for yourself whether you want it or not satellite kind of course, you can't do it to the 18 and i think that's a good thing i'm looking at. your body has to be mature, of course, and it gives you time to think again, i called and i say you don't rush into anything. can you give us that? so that sounds think us many of no of us friends identify as clear body and as one of the the younger trends mind comes with different generation to know that they are both familiar

with the problems based by trans people. each crime against minorities has been on the rise for years. indigent social media is just start til 9 and social media. then the verbal harassment spills out on to the street to spend a tons, volume, and physically volume. and speaking of in terms people are a prime targets from the coffee being visible and taking a stand, a balancing act for many of those affect it because like everyone else, they also need privacy anonymity when they go to office cuz there's times been when people don't believe that i'm trends and that can be covertly and anonymously trans anywhere if i want to. but i also think it's important to take a scan now and then and say, i'm trans, by the way, i mean, as long as people are still being beaten off out, that it's important to draw attention to ent, profile facts and some friends are concerned about current political

discussions which betray trans people is choosing their gender on a whim and then manipulating children you all feeling an interesting education in schools is of course, super important because otherwise trans children will be bullied and marginalized. then when parents come and say, don't drive on children, crazy. yeah, the children can't be made crazy. sometimes discussions on needed aside from the parents, probably don't want to look at it and then that so they say, leave on children alone. i mean, if a child is unsure about themselves, it's and you should discuss it when they come to flash. okay, let the van as a ton, we soon become friends by invitations listed on this. this idea that of terms people are constantly being talked about and reported on, always presence in the media. that could be just copy types of things. so do you does become trends by reading or watching some thing online. that's just not the reality for an excuse anything. it's

the, it's got me and i never struggled with being trans. not for a moment. on the contrary, discovering my translate density is the best thing that could have happened to me by truly i'm an absolutely happy trans postings that might sound stupid, but it's true. so almost a year after her sex reassignment to fee is on her way to her hair dresser to get here extensions. there's news. the 31 year old is in love for new partner, doesn't know that so fee is trend to have some time for that was he's such a frank foot, boy, it's all football clubs, united. and if it's never been part of your wells and you know nothing about it, really we have very different play. so i'm going to keep in mind little see creative guy as a sub hauled. i don't know what i do not,

or that me as if he doesn't have lots of people saying i should tell him. then i'll just say, don't tell him what if it came out some other way. the establishment i thought about that. my number off the top and then he'd probably all, why didn't you tell me your cell wrestle except this month and i did bring it up in directly and the values are state and i said, you might imagine you met someone like that who was a man before some of the hard, so i mean these days anything goes, nothing's up norman. anymore normal, i'm not sectional going on. okay. i'm happy for you. enjoy it. you never know what's going to happen these days. it means that doesn't mean that well, if he finds out then that's how it is. but then if he rejects me, i'll know for sure it was, it was a big line. now for trans people like so fee. there's no one right way. there are lots of different options on the image that too much to have someone else to me now and said,

i'm sure what, what do you do? my tape would be listening to you in the south and look inside yourself to see what you really want. okay. so that i could just say do it, but then you might end up on happy because it really is a major intervention. so it's also very painful. a little can go wrong now because much match. so subordinate, i didn't regret a single. thank you skin. nothing it tool kind of similar notice got to the it's been in touch possible the sun work to. 2 the
