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.

Claudia Alejandra - Memorias De Un Cambio De Sexo

Original title: "Memorias De Un Cambio De Sexo" (Memories of a Sex Change) by Claudia Alejandra.

"Memories of a Sex Change" focuses on the transition of Claudia Alejandra - one of the first transgender pioneers of the Chilean transgender community. The book was written by the protagonist Claudia Angélica Valenzuela Leiva who underwent a gender-affirming surgery on June 16, 1975 at the Portales Clinic, when she still had masculine characteristics and appeared under the name of Roberto Antonio.

We read about her childhood, fears, and concerns related to one question... was he a man or a woman? After the operation, her recollections were covered in a manuscript by Claudia herself and published by the "Aqui Esta" Publishing Company. She said: "For now, I am happy that my wishes have come true. I will perform at the "Sortilegio" nightclub and if it goes well... I can make it to Argentina." Her post-surgery awakening came after her operation: "When I was alone in the room I kept looking at the post-operative sheet that was next to my bed that said the name of the patient: Miss Claudia Valenzuela Leiva. I was so happy." The book that narrates her memories is complemented with many photos.
