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.

Belle Forbete - Belle: A Memoir

Full title: "Belle: A Memoir - The Making of a Transsexual Courtesan in the 21st Century"

"The memoir of a life that triumphed over the poverty of Appalachia Virginia to perform in major American opera houses; then suffered professional loss and humiliation after coming to grips with life-long Gender Dysphoria (transsexualism).

Abandoned to an orphanage having already survived poverty, parental alcoholism, and childhood sexual abuse, I managed by intellect, hard work, and luck to break away - first into the world of academia, then on to the glamour of opera, climbing the ladder towards oft-predicted fame.

My career began to unravel as I struggled to be me. Without financial or emotional support, I did as women in our world have throughout time, turned to the "oldest profession." I worked as a transsexual escort; selling my body to survive in our nation's capital, Washington, DC. Here you will find my journey - from a lost child, through a semi-successful masquerade as a professional performer, and finally, to the empowered woman I am today."
