Just like me, there are many children who want to begin their transition, who know who they are and what their gender identity is, but don't know how to start the process or even how to share it with their family. It's a difficult path, and sometimes many obstacles arise, but it's always worth it. I can attest to that. To begin, I suggest you remember that we didn't come into this world to suffer, that you have the right to live your identity freely and express yourself as you wish.

In this book, I'm going to talk about my transition, my childhood, my family's support, the bureaucratic and medical obstacles I faced, the prejudice and ridicule I encountered, transphobia, my own fears… I'm going to try to share my experience as best I can in case it might be helpful to you or those around you. It's about normalizing something we're still fighting for today and achieving a better future.
