Abstract
The present article discusses social, physical and psychological voyage of the Danish girl from a man (Einar Wegener) into a woman (Lili Elbe). She is trapped in a wrong body as gender and sexuality are not linked. The article aims at understanding the relationship between man and woman as well as their subjective experiences in the production of the subject. Furthermore, the process of transition that took place breaking the new barriers is defined. Finally, an attempt has been made to understand the key role played by gender, society and identity in the lives of trans people in order to gain acceptance and visibility for them in the society.
