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.

A. Whitaker - Sometimes it Hurts: A Transgender Woman's Journey

Full title: "Sometimes it Hurts: A Transgender Woman's Journey" by Allison Whitaker

"Allison Whitaker was born in the wrong body. Born into a life in a world that would never be right, it was never made for her. Growing up, she never knew how to confront the fact that she was transgender and buried all of her anxiety and depression deep within, focusing her energy into, and obsessing over hobbies to get her mind off of everything she hid from the world.

When finally confident to begin coming out of the closet as a gay male at age 20, she found no support for her “choice.” Rather than live with the burden of lack of support, she went back into the closet, living the next 12 years of her life closeted, seen by the world as a typical heterosexual male, again hiding her secret.

At age 32, living with worsening anxiety and depression, Allison was faced with the decision to either end it all rather than live in the wrong body or to finally come out to the world and be herself. Luckily, she chose the latter. "
