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.

Maurice Rostand - La femme qui était en lui

Original title: "La femme qui était en lui" (The woman who was in him)

Edmond Rostand's son has a very recognizable style of writing, a little sentimental and exalted, which we find as much in his poetry as in this curious story. 

The narrator, a musician of great sensitivity, relates to a man he was very close to, Emmanuel, the journey that led him to consult a Swiss doctor. He asked him to rid him of the part of femininity that seemed too present in his personality and to embody this element in a new, entirely feminine being.

The rest of the book describes the unforeseen, curious, and ultimately dramatic consequences of this experiment in resolving a sexual identity problem.

The first edition, 1933.
