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.

Original title: "Je suis une poupée gigogne" (I am a nesting doll) by Armonia Lemaître (also known as Armonia Zyra).
The book is divided into two parts. "When I was born in 1962 in a body that didn't fit my intimate gender, but that I wouldn't really realize until much later. I then lived a difficult childhood and adolescence, not because of my very loving parents, too much perhaps, but because I could not find my place.
Being a victim of deep discomforts and terrible nightmares, I felt inadequate, totally out of step with the role imposed by my entourage, society, and morality. For a long time, I thought I was crazy. Yet, despite all these difficulties, I lived as a married man, and two children were born out of this marriage."
"At fifty, my life turned upside down. I separated and thanks to the meeting of a man, who revealed me to myself, I began a long journey to become the woman who had always been in me. I then immersed myself in the writing of a testimonial book recounting this life experience. Now retired and settled in Sète with my husband, I can devote myself to my passions, reading, walking, music but especially the one that takes precedence over all others, writing. It is essential for me as breathing."
