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.

Jean Guilda - Il était une fois ... Guilda

Original title: "Il était une fois ... Guilda" (Once upon a time... Guilda). 
This is the second biography of Jean Guilda, following her 1979 book "Guilda: elle et moi" (Guilda: her and me).

Guilda, also known as Jean Guilda, was born Jean Guida de Mortellaro in Paris, France (1924-2012). She was a cabaret artist who made a career in France and Quebec.

She was best known for her comedy and cabaret shows where dressed in extravagant female clothes, impersonated one or other of the typical women of the last millennium — Marlene Dietrich, Rita Hayworth, Mistinguett, Edith Piaf and Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis, Lucille Ball.

Jean Guilda was one of the guests at the 2010 Montréal Pride celebrations. He appeared on stage for a short time and aroused the enthusiasm of the crowd present at Place Émilie-Gamelin. The organizers highlighted the importance and great career of this man who was the first transvestite to show himself in Quebec in the 1960s. After his death in 2012, he was buried in Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery, in Montreal.
