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.

If you know of any transgender biography that I have not covered yet, please let me know.

In 2015 Alejandra arrives at Schiphol and gets a one-way ticket. Despite great adversity - the viscous procedures, rejections, and depression - she maintains her ultimate quest for freedom.

She longs to live, to love, and to be who she really is. The truth will set me free is the gripping story of Alejandra, a trans woman looking for a safe home. At times a sad story, but zest for life and perseverance prevail from start to finish.
