of 3 different generations and discovers they have been good. how about this in berlin from me and the oldest the fee was born in the body of a boy, but the ginger, she was assigned to birth, never felt right. as i started feeling something was wrong. as a child and the human that got much was to keep it takes 3 and then once i left home, i made the decision times the fee. now spend the old name their number cuz they have not get my snap. 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 good enough to get put down a lot of my stuff. they'll always be people who once accepted it's almost half a century since nora discovered her true identity for 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? just 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, you have to be just to 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 kaffir has to be living as

a woman for several years and has no decided to have sex reassignment surgery. the operation is due to start soon have as often opiates must be waiting almost exactly 6 months. my operation date, not 16 weeks ago, i got the letter saying the operation can go ahead. i'm going through with it to us . no compromises kind of, i'll be seeing it through to the end doors. it's what i want. that's all the 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 proximal, moist, crazy what the whole nodes 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 this, do they say things like if they come to them and then you look stream, the good,

it gives me a real boost i 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 code. know it's getting serious. it becomes really sinking in now quite most of these, i'm looking forward to this appointment and i'm looking forward to my vagina. it's good for him to be glad when it's all behind me sent him. 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 engine. why

specializes? i'd probably k vin and blackout. look. 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. his family have receive psychological counseling and they support his transition. in addition to vibration, prof, i take the com. 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 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. this is 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 doctor 1st health. the patients be thoroughly informed the incidental from the incidents of trans boys has risen 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 issued 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 in the organization. well, that's when the alarm bells go off in my head by me. the alarm clock in the expert works closely with psychologist on site, the therapist to reload snap judgments. my son, good. luca and his mom are also accompanied through the process to phoenix by 5th farm. i had lots of doubts, 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 early on in funding because the old assist this dotted puberty really comes in. and that's exactly what i wanted to spend my child out of everything he was expressing. what's your it was just points close, send to please no more dressed as a short have intimate to go into the boy's toilet to let the i'm so they were all phases where you could see he was guessing happy 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 too many years later that she fully came out. today her trans identity is an important part of the 69 year olds life. just as i make sure that to speak for steve before was actually retained important to me relatively late in 2018, 2019. when retirement was approaching and i was planning this new phase of life for i wanted to become visible as of trying to pass and fish part of it being visible domestically became linked with activism. by that, so i mean something up for the interests of trans people because it'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 that 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 have seen those, those freaks. but that wasn't all problem because it was that problem with this. i think so all as the to 12, the pool things they've no idea um the, the costs for the biggest disadvantage in the seventy's was being excluded from the regular labor market. so it really was the case that trans women main, the rest of noise stuff. so with various options, but of course i just like to 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 stating that of a software from our 6 floors that supplied 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 offer critic. today the activist teams to dispel pressure. this is about trans people, closer to i think, and most of people are starting from a false premise when they say that trends means living in the room above the. i've never have that feet and i can use it for all the body we have and the solid body, and we can never leave it as a cub. i've never had the feelings that i am a decision being that not something. on the contrary, i felt i was given something in addition to my body's gender, different gender identity. so i embody femininity, i'm to masculinity at the same time. i mean, i think that's pure luxury, 400 offices. it's october 2022. so fees on the way to a new body tomorrow, the trends will undergo sex reassignment surgery service. i'm supposed to report some where i am, 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 fear shit and sadly refer, managed sophie's a very loving person, corporate from that. she's not my big sister just as i mean we've gone through everything together. joy fear pretty much everything that's in this house by fear. i think she's my best friend to fees. main concern is to have a body that sexually female or she also hoops the upcoming medical procedure will lead to more acceptance in everyday life. so these, this list that finally went. all right, so, so those, you know, the every day instances where, yes, your try me, i'm in the most

a woman. you'll never be a woman. and 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, this trends thing is done with the good to me. so that, that is, even if a lot of people will probably still say, i'm transgender and confident, that step is, doesn't need us. who am i to me, the word transgender, or trends. one to exist anymore, accepted 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 how difficult it is . i can 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 unlikely to risk sampling and put them helping. dr. can't around 90 percent say they were capable of oregon and i thought i've got the most face and okay, that's reassuring. there are various theories on 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 of video. 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 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 okay. 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 please. 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 multiple bullet 12 and all that. alice, 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, of course to. so can 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 the ones that do that. no, i don't want that in these for luca 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, we have company 10 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 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. and 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 in gender reassignment surgery was never an option for the trans women, nor i loved her body exactly as it is the finished or something i've explained 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 binary. 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 other c as well. so that will be the appropriate and not mines, especially since the ample free am mondays, mines doors still feels connected to the queer community tonight. so to rear these

days where she enjoys them all. the more the feeling of being amongst equals try to the i never really played the exotic role. with all my different, i felt that i needed to live a normal life. that was always, the goal is different as i am. it should always be new mazda or the mazda, and i'd like to go to quit community to still be seen to see of the, by mainstream society. but rather as a cultures and societies, we belong in a multi faceted persons 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. we can do this

so so i'm, 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 fine, i'll try it out now from now, we were here about 2 or 3 years again and already made all these preparations, 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 doctor's prognosis is also favorable. the patient has a good chance of filling sex life that 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. 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 him for the summer. 2023 look at 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. it's a funny feeling when you 1st have a go 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 this in the past just because i might have to see somebody to split up by the back of and it wasn't something you gave much thought to just in vic, it was more of a gradual process, a 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 that 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, i look forward to touching 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 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 mr. can i ask me, of course, on the night thoughts, but 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 and they kind of foam to 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 luca has achieved a lot. the issue of sex reassignment surgery is still on the table as being fun. this consists of tents of hobby 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 the title now. so you don't rush into anything . can you give us that? so that sounds think us to many of no of us 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 based by trans people. he's crime against minorities has been on the rise for years to such image. and so for me, just it stops on line and social media here. then the verbal harassment spills out onto the street to spend a tons, volume, and physically volume and teaching 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 when

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 ent, profile facts. and so the friends are concerned about current political discussions, which poetry trends, people is choosing their gender and when and then manipulating children are feeling an instrument 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 that so they say,

leave all children alone, life money. and 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 soon become friends by invitations listed on this. this idea that of times people are constantly being talks about. so reported on always presence in the media. that could be this copy types of things that 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. and i 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 ask for that work. 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 my little see create as a sub how 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 that i'll just say, don't tell him what was that came out some other way that's happened to me. i thought about that my number or to help him 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 to, i mean these days anything goes, nothing's up, norman anymore. no, i'm on section of that one. i'm happy for you. enjoy it. you never know what's

going to happen these days a minute. 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 for trends. people like sophie, 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 would you do? my tape would be, listen to you in the south that 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 and not can go wrong. yeah, because much math. so subordinate, i didn't regret a single fact. you skin nothing, it tool kind of service, you know, got to the
