A random collection of over 1910 books and audiobooks authored by or about my transgender, intersex sisters, and gender-nonconforming persons all over the world. I read some of them, and I was inspired by some of them. I met some of the authors and heroines, some of them are my best friends, and I had the pleasure and honor of interviewing some of them. If you know of any transgender biography that I have not covered yet, please let me know.

Georg Preusse - Mary: Mein Leben in ihrem Schatten

Original title: "Mary: Mein Leben in ihrem Schatten" by Georg Preuße.

Georg Preuße lets us participate in his steep rise, his joys, his defeats, and his psyche. I have read some biographies and all of them have reflected a never-easy career. Apparently, this is a testimony of our world that one learns from pain, which Mr. Preuße also expresses in open words. But he also lets us participate in his joy, in his inner learning and searching, which never stops. It can also be very direct.

He is a perfectionist, sometimes melancholic, anxious, courageous, and also strong. He goes his own way and he now knows his limits, which he has not always observed. Precisely because he has explored womanhood within himself, although he feels himself to be a man, allows him to take a look at the power relations of the sexes, which remains closed to many others.

Georg Preuße is a German actor and drag performer, who is best known for his stage name Mary. He was born on August 24, 1950, in Ankum, Germany. Preuße started his career as a radio and television engineer, but later became a well-known Travestiekünstler (drag artist) in Germany. He created the character Mary Morgan and performed with his partner Reiner Kohler as the duo Mary & Gordy.

They became famous in the 1980s with their shows and TV appearances. After Kohler retired due to health reasons, Preuße continued his solo career as Mary with his own TV shows and tours. He has also appeared in other roles and as a moderator in theater, film, and television. Preuße has received several awards for his work, including the Berliner Bär (B.Z.-Kulturpreis), the Beauty-Face-Award 2001 of the Bundesverband der Kosmetikerinnen e.V., and the Golden Vorhang award for favorite actor in Berlin. He has been married to his long-time partner Jack Amsler since 2002.
