Jimmy's complex background was created in the Dutch foster care system, where his identity and gender of birth were subjected to violent strategies to destroy his original self and background. The child of 'bad parents' should be transformed by all means into a 'decent citizen'. in a fundamental religious and far right environment that was chosen for him from four years old,  art and culture were regarded as the ultimate sin, so all  his creativity and expression  was severely suppressed.. Jimmy left the system with permanent physical injury and a complex trauma it took almost his entire life to rediscover his gender, originality and creative mind.
