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.

Katharina Hören,
Original title: "Einzelhaft Echt Ich: So lebe ich im Westen: Angst und Wut" (Solitary Real Me - How I Live in the West: Fear and Anger) by Katharina Hören.
If you read what's going on in the hospitals, your eyes will be opened here by this book by Katharina Hören. Questions of anxiety disorders and panic attacks are poignantly described. A very "real" and unembellished account, almost without a filter. Whether trans or not - definitely an eye-opening story for everyone who has mental problems and/or is in any way related to women's rights, equality, or LGTBI rights.
Katharina Hören, also known as “Kathi,” was a remarkable activist who made significant contributions during her lifetime. She didn't have it easy, on the contrary. In addition to all the resistance you can encounter during the transition, traumatic experiences and a lung disease made life difficult for her. Long before she became active in the public relations work of dgti e.V., she had gained everything in training and experience that is needed for a successful professional life under "normal" conditions.
However, so many obstacles are put in the way of women with a trans* background that many would need two lifetimes to get past them. Kathi had to use up a lot of energy. However, she didn't let that get her down. So she used her remaining energy for press and media work. With her work as a presenter on the web radio "LiveZwei" she became known to the wider public and her dream of a job at WDR could have come true, but that was not wanted "upstairs". In her book "Solitary Detention Real Me" she wrote about her experiences so that we can learn something from them and keep them.
