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.

Michael Hviid Jacobsen - I samfundets sprækker

Original title: "I samfundets sprækker: studier i upassende sociologi II" ( In the Cracks of Society – Studies in Inappropriate Sociology II).

The book covers interviews with several transgender women – conducted in March 2005, presenting a wide range of human destinies, incidents, and strange experiences that one is usually not aware of. It shows people who, due to a different way of life or self-understanding, find themselves in the shadows, outskirts, or cracks of the 'normality' world.

The publication presents a wide range of micro-sociological and micro-ecological studies of life forms, localities, and people who are on the margins of society or who, in their daily lives, must seek to deal with their otherness through a variety of strategies or practices. We meet call girls, infantilists, prison inmates, far-right sympathizers, vagabonds, death workers, transgender women, and porn stars. All the chapters focus on identity and interaction and their methodologically qualitative and exploratory research angle.
