As an adult, Ina harboured a secret that she had kept from almost everyone but her close family and childhood friends. A confession of sorts, Pussified is an honest outpouring as Ina courageously comes out.
After a childhood diagnosis of mixed gonadal dysgenesis, she explores out loud the path she has never her journey from boy to girl. Ina shares her memories and explores the challenges she faced, the prejudices she encountered, and how the love and support of her late mother carried her through painful and depression-filled times.
This book is a raw and open diary, a reflection on growing up, a lesson in acceptance and a testament to the power of love. This story also shows how truly powerful and important self-honesty is, and how suffocating and claustrophobic closets inevitably get. You are in for a ride.
I was born in 1988 in Croatia, as an intersex, predominantly male child. After a diagnosis of mixed gonadal dysgenesis and several years of medical supervision, a sex reassignment surgery - from male to female - was done at the age of six, which is the reason I am here now. This event is the core of my book Pussified: A sex change story I didn't have the balls to tell, and I am taking willing participants on a brief journey with me. You are in for a ride.
