It was him: Martin. It was she: Kathrin. And it was still him: Martin.
So were the 43 years of life of Martin / Kathrin Föhse, professor of administrative law of the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, who lived fully both bades.
As Martinin front of his students, he speaks without the need for a microphone. He stands in front of them, imposes his voice and explains without any martial formality the secrets of his specialty. However, a year ago, I would have needed a microphone: so that was Kathrin and his voice was not as loud as now.
The life of Föhse it gave tight turns. Until age 32, he behaved under this identity. And between that age and the 42 he was Kathrin and continued to develop professionally as an expert lawyer. However, since January 2018, he wanted to be the one who knew how to be: Martin.
He adapts to his existential twists without blushing.
But what surprised me most Föhse during his last metamorphosis, his students treated him "professor"a"professor"Without any explanation, the adaptation of both parties was absolutely natural."I did not hear any stupid comment"said the academic in dialogue with the newspaper Der Bund.
His experience, says the law professor, was wonderfully opposed from one life to another. The worlds of both bades are completely opposite, indicates this publication.
When I was younger, Martin He did not feel completely at ease in his role as a man. He goes through several universities until he finally starts studying law in the University of Bern. Your watch is 24 years old. Start a relationship with another young student named Anita. He confesses everything. Despite the news, they continue together.
But the differences increased. Her femininity grew in intimate spaces and Anita decided to put a healthy end point on the link, despite the love that they had. They were 10 years old, in total. "In a way, I left because I wanted a man. But you can also say that she let me be a woman"
In November 2008, when he decided to become Kathrin, Föhse He thought the first thing to change was his hair. Your hairstyle. Then, a little bit of your routine. Or a lot But he also had to adapt to his new life and prepare others for this new stage.
That's why he announced at his post – a prestigious law firm close to Berna- that he would go on vacation two weeks GuadalupeTime that would be ample for him to acclimatize to his new life and announced: "I will come back as a woman"
Back to the law firm, only a few formalities must be completed: the badge on the door of his office, his name on the website, his photo… a bit more. The same thing happened in the lawyers' register of Switzerland.
His routine has changed completely: he feels obliged to further protect his wallet on the train. That she can not go twice in a row dressed the same way at the office or at the university. That he has to eat less because he feels that it is oily more easily. Perform hormone therapy so that the transformation is complete. And it works perfectly.
But soon, his work in the company is over. Since his change, he was getting fewer and fewer jobs. He always suspected that it was due to his gender change. Leave your message without complaining. To look for new directions, think Kathrin.
Nobody recognizes her as a man. Everyone sees her as a woman. As Kathrin. But something was missing. He was then absent from his new job – Federal Energy Office – two weeks to undergo the last surgery. Whoever would make of her a woman.
Despite some differences, he continues to work and reach an audience The parliamentat energy advisory committee meetings. She becomes an expert in this field, although she is dominated by men.
Soon he would meet a woman, Akane, which would become your first date. A Föhse They never stopped loving women, so, she thinks, she was a bad in her new role.
At your first dinner, Kathrin he tells Akane the half truth He tells her that he lived 10 years with a woman –Anita– but do not reveal to him that he is a reconverted man. The confession was intense. In love, Akane he knew that he should also fight Martin… the man who was still in a corner of his companion's humanity. They lived eight years.
The race was so successful Kathrin in the Office of Energy who is promoted, receives promotions, participates in revolutionary legislation for the nuclear sector and becomes one of the most influential voices of Switzerland in the field. She is tempted to do politics, while the University of St. Gallen invites her to become a law professor..
But doubts came back. He speaks to his beloved Akane. How long can you live this life of effort? To that of a normal woman, she must add the impostade of always fighting to be one of them. Force your voice, hormones, postures. Can I stay? And if he becomes a man again? ¿If Martin returns?
In autumn 2017, according to the newspaper Der Bund, start injecting testosterone. And he is preparing not only to be again Martin Föhsehe knows, but for the reaction he is afraid to suffer from his colleagues at the university and the law firm in which he works. But everything was natural.
"It feels good to be Martin Föhse again. The last ten years have been very rewarding and enjoyable for me. A beautiful experience that I do not want to lose. I say it knowing that we tend to do the most beautiful things with hindsight"said Martin to the Swiss newspaper in an interview.
And he explains: "The ten years of woman have helped me to reconcile with my feminine side"In meeting with Anita, a noon in August 2018, she says: "I think you can be happy in both roles. As a man and as a woman"He's the person who knows him best, he did not lie, it's what he feels." Martin: What Kathrin he is still alive in him.
