She wanted to be a man, but turned around

The hormone treatment was underway. Then she regretted it. Hear the story of Anniken, one of several people you meet in Aftenposten’s new podcast series PEOPLE.

Anniken Kjær (28) suddenly got a new perspective. It changed everything.


  • FOLK is a new podcast series from Aftenposten. In the series, you meet ordinary people who have experienced strong turning points. Here is Anniken’s story:

“I cut my hair, I stole my brother’s trousers, I started a slow transformation. I heard stories from others who said they were “born in the wrong body” and knew me very well.

From Rikshospitalet, I was given the impression that a process of changing gender would then take three years. I did not have time for that!

An acquaintance of an acquaintance was helpful in obtaining testosterone, which I started taking regularly. I started to like my body. I was drawn further and further into the world I had plunged into. I threw myself for attention. “I was good, I was the best.”

Then everything changed – again. “
