What is "To Be A Woman" all about?

"To Be A Woman" is a Blogumentary, telling the story of a woman in search of her identity. We watch her live and learn.

The starting point of this project is the male to female transition of  Merel Moistra. We follow this process, which involves Merel and everyone around here. The most important people are her life-companion and the two children they brought into this world.

Merel is a renown Dutch songwriter. She writes songs about her life and about her process of transition. In this Blogumentary we'll also follow her career as it evolves.

And as you watch these films, read the pages and get involved, you will gain a better understanding of concepts like 'normal', 'gender' and 'indentity', and you'll have much fun in the process, guaranteed!

The people behind 'To Be A Woman'.

'To Be A Woman', the Blogumentary, is created together by Merel Moistra and Erga Netz.
