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.

"I Am, Therefore, We Are is a non-fiction book about being trans and Xhosa in rural areas and townships on the Eastern Cape in post-apartheid South Africa. The book, written and photographed by Kris Lyseggen and her husband Herb Schreier introduces us to a new transfeminist movement in South Africa.
Lyseggen & Schreier interviewed, filmed, and photographed more than 20 transgender women from various townships, rural areas, and cities in 2014 and 2015.
It discusses the Ubuntu that is an important part of their Xhosa heritage, what it means and the significance of coming out as women in a highly patriarchal society in the midst of this deeply rooted homophobic and transphobic culture that they grew up in. "
