the species in my house?

Stop the car.

I'm sure this was the spot.

This is where i got pregnant

with Alex.

We still lived in Buenos Aires.

I was afraid

somebody would see us.

I was worried somebody

would drive by and see us.

- It's ridiculous.

- What is?

Being worried about

what other people think.

They'd ask:
,

"Is it a boy or a girl".

It's the first thing

they ask in the clinic.

When did she stop

the corticoid?

Two weeks ago.

You know what will happen?

- What?

- She'll masculinize.

Everything will change.

Her body, her cycles.

She'll stop developing as a woman.

That's enough.

- Have you thought about what I said?

- I'm not having sex with you.

- Why notr?

- Because you're too young.

- So what?

- And we've only just met.

That's why I'll never fell

for somebody like you.

Not I for you.

You say you're older than me

but you repeat every word I say...

You're not normal.

You're different and you know it.

Why do people stare at you?

Why? What's wrong with you?

Stay.

Come here.

- I don't have anything.

- I like it.

Sex Change For Boy Authorised

At 18, Scherer Starts the Journey

From Woman to Man

We can start if you want.

What about the children?

lvaro?

He must be with Alex.

Alex.

Sweetheart.

- Here he is. What happened?

- It's pouring.

Poor darling.

Get changed and come eat.

- What's wrong?

- Nothin'.

Give me your plate?

"No'in"? What's "no'in"?

- Leave him alone.

- I want to know what's wrong.

Sorry I'm late.

- Alex?

- She's not feeling well.

- Anything wrong?

- Nothing.

- Van I see?

- Yes.

- See how well my son drows.

- No, yo no tomo alcohol.

- Hoy toms. Ya sos grande.

Ramiro!

Algo hay que tener en la sangre.

Dale, con ganas.

I don't drink.

Tonight you will. You're old enough.

It wont hurt him

Drink up

Don't drink if you don't want to.

- It's not a big deal.

- Yes its a big deal.

We moved to be away from

certain kinds of people.

And now we're all sitting

round the same table .

O yes... Give it to me baby.

Take this and this.

Again, again.

- You've done it already.

- How d'you know?

I can tell.

With my cousin.

Five times.

I didn't want to at first.

I didn't like it.

He said we weren't going all the way.

Just half way.

We ended up going all the way

It didn't hurt much.

Put this on Alex.

I'll put the spare matress here.

On the floor.

Or Alex goes home.

Go to sleep, It's late.

Give it to me baby....

I have a special bottle of liquor.

I'm going to bed.

We're all going to bed.

Don't. I'll be right back.

- What's the matter

- i found them together.

- Who?

- Alex and lvaro.

- What do you mean?

- Together.

- Doing what?

- Don't know, I walked away... On top
