Finally Anna

I want to name Jennifer Finney Boylan.
For writing the book "She's not there: A life in two genders". I guess that her experience is not too uncommon for us trans persons but writing a book that captures so much of the things that only a trans-person will ever experience is quite uncommon. That book surely helped me realize who I actually am, and that I've been this way since forever, and I'm sure many of us has read the book and recognized almost everything.

May I suggest that we name but one role model in each post? And that we provide a bit of motivation as well (I think it is the motivation that is valuable for the readers)?
I can't find, oh, the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have, oh, they need love to help them heal.


Out to self since March 5, 2026. My wife knows it all since June 23.

Nicole Maines and Amy Ellis Nutt

Amy wrote the Pulitzer-winning biography and Nicole lived and shared her trans experiences, resulting in the book I recommend to anyone wanting to learn about a trans experience. 

I read Becoming Nicole in 2022 out of curiosity. It arguably is what cracked me egg. I'm grateful.
