Daniela Špinar spoke about gender change. Now I’m fifteen, says the director – eXtra.cz

The director announced her intention to switch genres last year. You already before you, like Daniel Špinar, you had made it known that you felt gay, but just last year you had announced the change: “I’m not gay, but a straight woman. I have a difficult transition period ahead of me, but I finally feel good and my whole life is falling into place”, he announced at the time, according to the website reports lidovky.cz on Daniela Spinar’s Facebook profile.

„I thank my family and the people closest to me, who mostly already know. I expect to face a lot of prejudice, hate, resentment and misunderstanding now, but nothing will stop me from finally feeling good,” said the director at the time and at the same time announced that she was leaving the post of artistic director of the performances of the National Theater.

She repressed herself

Now in Show Jana Krause she talked about how she actually realized she was a woman trapped in a man’s body. “There came a day when the thought occurred to me and I was shocked, I said to myself: no, this is nonsense. For twenty years I lived as an openly gay man, and then one day I walked down the street to work and I saw a couple in love and the thought occurred to me that I was a woman,” he told the Jana Krause Show .

“I looked at that woman, I wanted to have what she had, and I found that it was what I wanted all my life and what I had suppressed inside meŠpinar told Kraus, saying he could make the upheaval public in his own life. I’m so active, so I ventedshe explained.

The head cannot be changed, the body can

She also talked about how she’s always felt more like a woman, ever since she was a child. “Sure, it was the 80s at the time, a Christian family, and all of them — family, neighborhood, school — made me into a boy because I was a boy. My brain is wired female and my body has male characteristics, as well as testosterone. Actually, it’s better to change the body, because you can’t change the head,“said the director Kraus in his show.

Now the director is in transition, she has been taking hormones for nine months. “I looked like a scruffy forty-year-old. It’s notable because the body can be terribly shaped. Testosterone has done a lot of things to my body, but something can still be done about it,” she believes.

She’s also prepared for people to criticize her transformation into a woman. “I was sorry that people thought I didn’t know anything about myself anymore, that I wanted to draw attention to myself. But the opposite is true, one rather wants to escape to a deserted island and experience it inwardly. I haven’t actually lived my life all my life, just made a career. Now I’m finally starting to live on my own. I’m going through a second puberty because that’s how hormones work. I’ve actually been fifteen for six months,” he added with a laugh.
