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.

Julia Grant - George and Julia

Full title: "George and Julia" by Julia Grant.

"Julia Grant (1954-2019), who was born as George Roberts, has died aged 64. Grant was the first "transsexual", as trans people were then called, to publicly share her story on television, and changed the way Britain viewed transgender people in the 1970s.

In five-hour-long film documentaries which were aired as the BBC Two series A Change of Sex, her story gripped the nation, with nearly nine million viewers watching the first episode, "George and Julia", in 1979. The films, intimate, frank and observational, were shown between then and 1999, as new episodes unfolded in her story."

She wrote two books about her transition experiences, "George and Julia" (1980) and "Just Julia: The Story of an Extraordinary Woman" (1994).
