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.

Dee Dee Jackson - Lipstick on the Milk Carton

Full title: "Lipstick on the Milk Carton: A Sex Change Autobiography"

"Wanting to change your sex (gender dysphoria) is a real thing. If you have it, it is not “curable.” It is never going to go away. To some, it may be just a side issue, a peculiarity to be managed, but to others, like me, it takes over your life- in fact, it gets worse and becomes, very much, a life-threatening condition.

Thirty-some years ago, unknowingly, I started this book from the many journals I kept of my life’s travails- and now I’m glad I did. Parts of my first two memoirs (no longer available) are included here, along with many new chapters, stories, and escapades.

My story might be extraordinary to some readers, but not to a transsexual. You will make judgments about me. That’s human nature. You might say, “Oh my God, what was she thinking?” I do try to tell you, as best I can, what I was thinking, but there were times when even I had no idea. Yes, I have completed my journey, and, thank you, it was one heck of an adventure (spoiler alert- I had the surgery)."
