Junge oder Mädchen? Anhand der äußeren Geschlechtsmerkmale wird diese Entscheidung meist direkt nach der Geburt gefällt. Doch ob diese Entscheidung auch dem Geschlecht entspricht, dem sich ein Mensch zugehörig fühlt, stellt sich erst später heraus.

Dabei geht es letztlich um einen ganz grundlegenden Wunsch, den insbesondere die Kritiker gern für sich in Anspruch nehmen: Das eigene Selbst ohne Unterdrückung und Repressalien leben zu können.Spektrum Kompakt bündelt als Hörbuch Artikel zu aktuellen Themengebieten.
