Society distinguishes between two sexes: male and female. In Germany there is a new law for a new legal gender “divers”. „Divers“ refers to a gender spectrum between male, female and beyond. “I feel my own sex very changeable, it never feels like I am a man or a woman.

Although Luca has experienced antipathy and even physical violence, because of appearance, Luca would never stop being themself.
