Christin has a young son who unfortunately no longer lives with her. Her ex-partner left her with her son. Nevertheless, Christin knows motherly love and knows what it means to be a mother.

As a teacher, Christin also passes on her knowledge and her important message to students, trainees, teachers and counselors at schools, universities and clinics. She talks about social exclusion, bullying, discrimination, human rights and about her own life and transition with gender reassignment surgery, as well as the hurdles that lie in the way.

With her association, VDGE e.V., Christin organizes self-help groups throughout Germany. She currently runs three self-help groups in south-west Germany.

Christin's main job is web developer and Linux server administrator. She is highly respected in her profession and is taken seriously as a woman who does good work. More than 25 years ago, Christin turned her hobby into her profession.

Christin is always open to new acquaintances and friends. Her door is always open - even for people in need - and there is always a place to sleep and a delicious breakfast.
