NL. Joppe is een mooi meisje van 13 jaar. Ze heeft een oogje op Brian. Maar wat Brian nog niet weet, is dat ze eigenlijk een jongen is.
EN. Every 13-year-old girl dreams of that nice, but hard-to-get, boy. And Joppe is no different, consulting her friend on how to ask Brian out. But just how should she tell him that she was born a boy? From a very early age, Joppe - then still called Jop - liked to wear dresses and wigs and play with Barbie dolls. Jop also preferred to be addressed as a "she" rather than a "he." Halfway through the last year of elementary school, she decided to ask her classmates to consider her a girl from then on. "It really isn't a huge problem", she says. "It doesn't dominate your life, although you are confronted by it every day." Nevertheless, this brave teenager won't let anything stop her. With a striking amount of self-confidence, Joppe explains how puberty blockers and female hormones work and how she copes with her emotions.
