Jayrôme used to live as a white French woman. Then he moves to Berlin, starts taking testosterone and goes through a second puberty. He grows a dark beard, and suddenly people speak to him in Arabic on the street. In the café, in the changing room or at passport control, he notices that not only his identity but above all the way people around him treat him has changed radically. He can compare: how am I treated as a man, and how as a woman? And what does it mean when not only gender changes, but apparently also origin and age? He tells of his queer everyday life in a gripping way and reveals how absurd social perceptions and categorisations often are.
