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.

Melissa Jensen,
Scottie Melissa Jensen,
In 2017, I talked to Melissa about her transition and challenges related to being a transgender woman, and this is what she told me: "I have known since I was 5 years old that I was a girl, but felt as if I was a freak or weird, it wasn’t until I was 9 that I first heard the word Transsexual, I knew then.
I have been a loner most of my life, mainly because of an assault when I was 16 which gave me trust issues."
"Depending on where people live, here in Australia, it is acceptable to be Transgender, but I have found in many other countries, it is still against the law to be “Different”, we should be helping educate those.
I still feel that education is key even here in Australia.
Here is an example, in 2015, I became friends with a then 15-year-old trans girl, who lived in New South Wales Australia. I asked her personal questions, but she got offended and unfriended me. I was unable to explain that I have never known any teen trans girls in Australia and therefore had no idea how the hormone replacement therapy worked."
