sociologist at the oddness of moments

If I look at my generation [2nd generation of transsexuel woman in Québec], well, most of my friends from my generation, they're all deceased. So, they just about all died because of aids, or they were killed, or they committed suicide. So, of my generation, and that there, it's really, there's not many of us left. Out of, dunno now, a number like that, fictious, let's said we were 20, well today, we're only 5. It was that grave.
One night, while watching television, there was something that said something like "Ah Coccinelle on TV!" In those years, it was at the beginning of, I think the 60s... I went "Ah! A man who transformed into a woman! That's it! That's what I have, a disease!" And after that "That's it, a disease!"
And then they spoke of a soldier that became a woman, and there, it was a chain reaction in my head, I wasn't the only one in this world...
