the significant risk of human extinction from it nationally. i suspect our series continues to d, w. the so fee was born in the body of a boy. but the ginger she was assigned at 1st never felt right. as i started feeling something was wrong, as a child, even that much was in cuba takes pre. and then once i left home, i made the decision. i'm so fee. now it's for now the old name no longer exist as math. we're accompanying the 30 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 want to accept it. it's almost half a century since nora discovered her true identity or transition to a new self began in west berlin. in the 19 seventy's at 1st i have a 1000 questions. how would it will work to me? because it's not just about building yourself up and heading out some of the towns or shaming ones. the ones who stop living your life as trends steps when the problems come on going to be just the popular mind. 3 trans people from 3 generations to lose the. how do they want to live? these are their stories. the there is a fee lives near frank foot. the cashier has been living as

a woman for several years and has no decided to have sex reassignment surgery. the operation is due to start soon. as often opiates and i've been waiting almost exactly 6 months. my operation date and 6 weeks ago i got the letter saying the operation can go ahead. i'm going through with it just to us. no compromises kind of, i'll be seeing it through to the end doors. it's what i want is that's all was 30 year old, finally has an appointment for her 1st of 2 operations. until now she's be making do with hormones, which is the 1st stage of the actual transition for most of those concerned the principal moist. crazy what the whole names do. i've been taking them for 4 years now and then lots has changed and that is a point where i don't see it myself anymore. without this, do they say things like if they come to the famine and you look stream the good,

it gives me a real boost on it. got soon for the 1st few weeks after the operation, it will be up to 0 fee to make sure that turn huge and the tools retain their ability to function the necessary stretching needs of 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 good for you. i'll be glad when it's all behind me sent them. yes. for those of fees be managing by herself for years. she certainly doesn't want to spend the days before and after the medical procedure fluid her best friend pascall will be keeping her company on the way to the university hospital. and as of 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'd probably came in and black out and we would see i'm awesome. 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 a girl's body. as family have receive psychological counseling, and they support this 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 had them that stopped everything. and then after about 3 years, i started taking testosterone, very low doses, so that i could grow my outbox. it the testosterone will make his body increasingly masculine. flashback. we started the comforting, the 12 year old on camera back in 2019 luka 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, and 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 goes 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, 5 to 5. and i had lots of down, especially when it started with the woman blow, cuz we didn't start with the test or storeroom, which we gave home and broke is quite handy on him. funny because the old assistant started puberty early on. that's exactly what i wanted to spend my child out of everything he was expressing. what's your it was just boys cloves and actually his name. well dressed as a short have an intimate to go into the boys to him to, to let the i'm so they will face is where you could see he was getting happier.

mclaughlin had in the mid seventies. it was already clear to norah that she wanted to go through life as a woman. but it wasn't until many years later that she fully came out. today her trans identity is an important part of the 69 year old's life. just as i make sure that to speed which these people actually retain 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 as of trying to pass and fish fuzzy as being visible domestically became linked with activism research by that. so i mean something up for the interests of trends, people because if, even if it was 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 once. and nora was 19 when she moved to west berlin. soon

she was working in a night club, the legendary shave whom you have. they are surrounded by other trans people. the young woman is freely express or so that i know we all have tremendous self confidence and as far as mainstream society goes, we didn't see little, well they might've seen is those freaks. but that wasn't all problem because it was that problem with this, right? so all as to, to 12, the pool things they've no idea um to the costs for the biggest disadvantage. and the seventy's was being excluded from the regular labor market. so it really was the case of trends 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 i would say toys that's applied 6 years after her transition bureau left the night life behind and no covertly trans started working as

a secretary she wrote several books as an appropriate day to day the activist seems to dispel pressure. this is about trans people, closer to i think, and lots of people are starting from a false premise when they say that trans means living in the wrong body. and i say, i've never had that feeling and i can use it for all the body we have and the solid body. and we can never leave as a cub. i've never had the feelings that i'm a decision 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 i'm, 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 and even for them. and sophie's a very loving person, quarter semester. he's not. my big is this is, i mean we've gone through everything together. joy, fear pretty much everything that's in this house. 05 here. i think she's my best friend. the fees main concern is to have a bonnie that sexually female or 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, but 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 quotes. as i've heard a tool i think is, 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, come spend 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 say they had some feeling unlikely to risk compliment from them helping dr. can't 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 are why increasing numbers of people

are identifying as trends. the doctor has a simple explanation and thoughts funds which on 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 words or how they feel it. and could look as though it's a new school where he has to repeat his high school diploma. so we todd, how was school? good, yes. that's that. okay, now if i 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

utah with most people. it's better not to say anything because once you cite you'll the outside and then your mom and i'm bullet 12 and all that. i list the ones on 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, post 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 me, i just done 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 design to supervisor. 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 in my ice hockey team, some notes and sometimes you know, concerned it's no more for me to shower with the team just in my underway is not a problem to help. and, and i think it's really great how they show consideration for making this name. ice . hockey is a constant and because light flashbacks back in 2019, when luka was 12 company into training, there won't be much time for sport over the next few months. luca has to concentrate on school and leaving exams. the door has committed to the rights of trans people. a loss of her self confidence stands from her job in the seventy's, the cloakroom attendant at the birth of the night club. she will meet her

at this time. of course there was a sudden and security in the beginning, especially going to work in the evening and coming back home in the morning. i'm from at 1st. i tried to ignore the looks, but at some point i actually saw out eye contact. i wanted to be looked at the quote and gender reassignment surgery was never an option for the trans women, nor i loves her body exactly as it is the finished all sort of expand else on the street. i mean, 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 mindful these none by entering this is always labeled in congress going as if the comp, the female presses with male sexual characteristics, respect my, i don't see any contradict and not the see if others see as well. so that'll be the appropriate. i'm not minds especially i sent to you and hopefully monday's minds still feels connected to the queer community tonight. so to rear 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 name. that was always, the goal is different as i am, that should always be new tournaments or the mazda, and i'd like to quit community to still be seen to see all those by mainstream society. but rather as a cultures and societies, that's where we belong in a multi faceted are present on lifestyle as normal as any of them. so nobody really surprised that all the div gender reassignment has come for so fee the night a short is a fee hardly slept, a wink can do this

so so i'm already terrified. so don't worry if it'd 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. fine, i'll try it out now from now 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 well now it's plain via respect to the operation. how will it go? well, everything be intact, food. alright, well that'd be feeding down there. sorry. so 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 in that open. and even if only the genitals have been operated on it, obviously a lot happens before surgery and far from the essential things happen before the coming out, the psychological aspect of that. and also the hormonal situation, the surgery is only a small part in the front, but it still gives another boost to the holistic female feeling vipers him from summer or 2023. look, a has graduated from high school and has already been accepted for an apprenticeship as a piano meeker. well done on your graduation dining

for his grandmother remembers his childhood. it's a fun these feeling when you 1st have a go on and to do the switch. he has style, the pre existence a long time, but then you just accept him and that's it. he's a boy, i spend the rest on it isn't the pos just i'm because i'm not sure i'm not just figured out by the best models and it wasn't something you gave much thought to just in vic, it was the gradual process development. it's one of my part. i saw him as a very strong person because he always knew who he was. despite the obstacles in his way. of course the will always setbacks. what 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 know to touch on what were the setbacks among other things pulling at school.

the flashbacks lucas group. ultimately i put the trends in a silver item 4 years ago, get spots, so it does. how do i to assign 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 mr. can i ask me, of course, on that i thought i shouldn't deny it or anything to gain just admitted openly how do you have on with them? but then we talked about it a little. it was a huge release. them could be that they kind of phone to bone at the noon. okay. now i prefer being around people who know about it and then the ones who don't submit an online luca has achieved a lot. the issue of sex reassignment surgery is still on the table as being fun hobby's. 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, hateful. not say you don't rush into anything. can you give us that? so that sounds think us too many of know those friends identify as clear body and as one of the younger trans man comes from a different generation to know they are both familiar with the problems faced by trans people he's crime against minorities has been on the rise for years to set, the indigent social media sit stops on line and social media. then the verbal harassment spills out onto the street to spend a tons, volume and physically volume and speaking of and trans people are a prime targets from the coffee being visible and taking a stand, a balancing act for many of those affected because like everyone else, they also need privacy anonymity. let me go to office cuz there's times been people

don't believe that i'm trans and i can be cove utley and anonymously trans anywhere if i want to. but i also think it's important to take his stand 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 it. profile that sense of the friends are concerned about current political discussions, which poetry trends, people is choosing their gender and when and then manipulating children. the all feeling an instrument education in schools is of course super important because otherwise trans children will be bullied and marginalized. then come 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 to them that so they say leave on children alone

. and then i mean, if a child is unsure about themselves, then you should discuss it when they come to flash. okay, let the van as a ton, we turn become trans by invitations listed on this. this idea that of times people are constantly being talks of allison reported on, always presents in the media that could be this copycats, offenders. would you does become trends by reading or watching something 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 note for a moment and said 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 posts and something 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 trans. asking for that. 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 it to mind, little see, create the homeless as a sub hauled. i don't know what i do not, or that me as if he doesn't have lots of people say i should tell him. then i'll just say, don't tell him what if it came out some other way, the establishment i've thought about that my number or to job. then he'd probably ask why didn't you tell me your cell liked wrestle? except as some of them, 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 i go hard. so i mean, these days anything goes, nothings up, norman, any mountain norma, i'm not sectional going on. i'm happy for you. enjoy it. you never know what's

going to happen these days a minute. well, if he signs out and 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 memberships. if someone asked me now and said, i'm sure what, what do you do? my tip would be, listen to you in the south. 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, so it's also very painful and they'll come go wrong. yeah, because much math. so subordinate, i didn't regret a single. thank you skin, nothing. it tool kind of us, you know, it got to the

it's been in touch possible the my son was to. 2 the,
