Byłem kobietą, byłam mężczyzną — tajemnica, fenomen i paradoks transseksualizmu. Część I.                 37

I was a woman, I was a man — the mystery, the wonder and the paradox of transsexualism. Part I.     37

Summary:

The first part of the chapter provides a general introduction to the field of transsexualism: its definition, historical notes and etiological concepts. This part aims at explaining (and understanding) what transsexuality really is, and (just as importantly) what it isn't. The lonely, frightening, experience of being a transgendered child is painted in a way that few outsiders can intuitively imagine, and few transsexuals wish to relive.
