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.

Alena Mayskaya - Транссексуалка

Original title: "Транссексуалка" (Transsexual Woman) by Alena Mayskaya (Алена Майская).

'I was actually born a boy, but the story of my change began long before I was born. On the ultrasound, the doctor, looking carefully at the screen, with full responsibility declared: "You will have a girl." And I, sitting inside my mother, shamefully covered my masculinity with my leg being full of shyness.'

'Without the slightest embarrassment, with the smallest intimate details, the heroine of this frank, soul-tearing book tells about her life. Lonely and happy. Dangerous and magical. Desperate and hopeful. Contradictory, like Elena herself, who is listed as Alexei on her passport. Like her relationship with her mother, with loved ones, rapists, friends, and colleagues. With myself. In peace. With all of us.'

'Let me be called a 'mistake of nature' and let me sometimes hear angry screams behind my back, let me not be hired, because according to my passport I am a man. I'm still happy. Because I am me! I'M DIFFERENT!'
