Sophia is is the owner of the charming English-language bookstore Another Country in Kreuzberg and is quite a known entity in some Berlin circles because of it. She spent most of her life in England and moved to Berlin more than two decades ago. Trans coming out stories are very diverse, of course, and Sophia‘s experience is no exception. What started off as one of the effects of a health issue went on to change her life and led to her transition. Sophia was diagnosed with liver cancer a year ago and we discuss that as well as her many insights into the transitioning process. We did this interview over the phone and the sound isn’t optimal, I apologize in advance!
