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. Manchmal bereits im Kindesalter, manchmal aber auch erst Jahre später, wenn Betroffenen klar wird, dass sie beispielsweise kein Mann sind, obwohl in ihrer Geburtsurkunde männlich steht.Der Weg zur Anerkennung und gegebenenfalls auch zu psychologischer und medizinischer Hilfe ist oft lang und auf Grund von Vorurteilen und Diskriminierung noch immer schwer.
