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: "Rejsen mod Bente: kønsskifteoperationen i Casablanca" (The journey towards Bente: the gender reassignment surgery in Casablanca). The book was published in 2001 and republished in 2018.
This book is the deeply personal story of Bent Nimb, who embarked on a life-changing journey. In 1982, Bent Nimb was on her way from Copenhagen to Casablanca to undergo gender reassignment surgery.
Years of hormone treatments at Rigshospitalet with many refusals of surgery from dozens of doctors, psychiatrists, sexologists, and the medical examiner's office had preceded the surgery.
But Bent Nimb could not wait any longer and took matters into her own hands.
The operation had previously been possible in England, but this direction had now been banned, so through her contacts she found out that a doctor in Casablanca, Georges Burou, performed such operations - illegally - and for a high payment.
Bente Nimb is a Danish author who made her literary debut in 2001 with the personal story of her gender reassignment surgery in the book "The Journey towards Bente". She has subsequently published several crime novels with the character of Detective Martin Bjergmark and his team at the center.
