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.

Janet Manne - Out of the Closet of My Mind

Full title: "Out of the Closet of My Mind" by Janet Manne.

The book is the story of a man who grew up in the '50s and '60s, got married, and fathered five children, knowing all the while that he was really a woman.vIt recounts the physical, emotional, and social struggles that she endured to remain true to herself, to her family, and to her faith as she became the woman she had always known herself to be.

Janet Manne was born in St. Thomas, Ontario. She grew up biologically male in the 1950s and 1960s, got married, fathered five children, knowing all the while that she was really a woman. After much personal struggle and through many external obstacles Janet at last underwent gender reassignment surgery to become physically the woman she knew herself to be.

She wrote Out of the Closet in My Mind to share her story, and though she suffered a stroke in 2001 that greatly impaired her ability to speak and to write, she persisted in seeing it published. She currently lives in Guelph, Ontario.
