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.

Marianna Klapczyńska - Dzikie gęsi

Original title: "Dzikie gęsi" (Wild Geese)

'Wild Geese' are transgender people who cannot find their biological sex. The author, presented in the book as the main character – Paula, describes the story of her life.

With extraordinary realism, it shows the problems faced by a person trying to find their identity. These are not only financial or legal problems but above all emotional ones. Related to the difficulty of finding acceptance in the family and society and treating such people instrumentally.

All these problems accumulate and turn life into a daily struggle. Her mother still calls her "Wojtek", her ex-wife avoids meetings, and the children have completely cut themselves off from her. They are ashamed. Marianne understands their reactions, regrets, and fears. Only no one understands it.

The author of the book was featured in a Polish 2016 documentary "Mów mi Marianna” (Call me Marianna) by Karolina Bielawska and Kacper Czubak, a story about transsexualism, exclusion, and hope.
