Between bureaucracy and prejudices, two stories of living with a transgender identity in Switzerland. Niklaus Flütsch has reservations about the red tape surrounding his transgender identity. He is a successful gynaecologist who lives as a man. But as he was born a woman and doesn’t want to go through the bureaucratic procedures to change his official records, his passport still has an “F” next to the word gender. Sabine Hiss (not her real name) was dismissed from her job because of being stigmatised for being a woman in a man’s body.(SRF/swissinfo.ch) --- swissinfo.ch is the international branch of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SBC).
