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.

Marie Édith Cypris - Mémoires d'une transsexuelle

Original title: "Mémoires d'une transsexuelle: La belle au moi dormant" (Memoirs of a transexual: The Sleeping Beauty (Suffering and Theory)

'If transsexualism is no longer a mental illness, transsexuality, a term that replaces it today, does not shed more light on what this inexplicable affection is. Even as "affection" becomes obsolete to speak of what henceforth would be a "right" of men and women to change sex.

The gap is obvious between pathology and fantasy, between suffering and whim. Questioning her experience, the author crosses the points of view of academics and transsexuals to achieve an atypical synthesis. Without complacency and with a fresh look at the issues of gender identity disorders, she provides a series of questions that are often new. She questions us and challenges us on the upheavals that could sign the abolition of genres."
