Her advocacy emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and challenges societal norms regarding gender expression. Through her literary work and public engagements, Jula Böge has played a significant role in fostering understanding and dialogue about transgender issues in German-speaking communities.
One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman. No biological, psychological, or economic fate determines the figure that the human female presents in society. We are wives, mothers, grandmothers, sisters, daughters, and partners. I interviewed over 800 transgender women who radiate with wisdom, beauty, intelligence and love. The blog is about transgender women who proved to me that there is hope for me and it is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you are not.
