Summary

«Les diré esto: soy Morganna, una mujer transexual que ha luchado por hallar su lugar en el mundo […] Tuve que bucear en aguas profundas, sumergirme para extraer mis recuerdos, los más dolorosos, los más extraños, aquellos que me daban más vergüenza y hubiera querido olvidar. Y aquí están, en estas páginas» Una historia de valentía y fortaleza de espíritu que retrata la vida de Morganna Love, una cantante mexicana de ópera que luchó contra los prejuicios de la sociedad y el rechazo de su propia familia para poder cumplir su sueño: ser la mujer plena que es hoy en día.Desde su infancia religiosa como Saúl hasta el viaje que realizó a Bangkok para llevar a cabo su reasignación de sexo, Morganna nos revela cuán difícil puede ser el camino para una persona que habita un cuerpo dividido y aprende a enfrentarlo a pesar de las adversidades, los prejuicios y la discriminación propios de un país dolorosamente machista, hipócrita y conservador.En el cuerpo correcto es un libro actual y necesario para aproximarse a los temas de identidad sexual, de género y de discriminación que, sin duda, marcará un antes y un después en el juicio de los lectores.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION"I am Morganna, a transsexual woman who has overcome many obstacles to find her place in the world. To write this book I had to dive deep into my darkest memories, some strange that are even embarrassing to tell, and some that I would have rather forget. And so in these pages I pour my heart and soul."This is a daring account that tells the brave story of a Mexican opera singer who had to fight many social prejudices, and her own family’s rejection, in order to fulfill her dream of being the happy and well-rounded woman that she is today.From her very religious childhood as Saul through the trip to Bangkok for the gender reassignment surgery, Morganna shares how hard it was to face life living in a strange body, especially in such a sexist, hypocrite, and conservative country.Inside the Body I Was Meant to Have is a great book to get acquainted with sexual and gender identity subjects, and the discrimination that comes with it.
