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.

Miranda Ponsonby - The Making of Miranda

Full title: "The Making of Miranda: From Gentleman to Gentlewoman in One Lifetime"

"Miranda was born as Rhodri. This is the tale of her extraordinary transformation from a gentleman into a gentlewoman. In the Making of Miranda, Miranda Ponsonby tells the extraordinary story of her life. Miranda was born as Rhodri into a renowned family, and educated at a war-time boy's prep school and one of Britain's most ancient public schools, before being commissioned into the Household Cavalry.

Time spent in Africa and Arabia was followed by marriage and two sons, and a settled life spent running a farm in Leicestershire. It was only when his 30-year marriage came to an end that Rhodri decided to undergo transgender surgery and become Miranda. He had long held the belief that he was actually female, and it was then that he had the courage to act upon it."

"After the swiftly arranged operation, Miranda decided to retrain as a nurse, and until recently worked long and physically demanding hours in the coronary care unit of the NHS hospital in Kettering. Her nursing career lasted twenty years. Miranda's life-changing decision estranged her from her family and friends and even today she still faces a daily battle against deep-rooted social prejudices. It is Miranda's unfailing positivity and the ability to smile in the face of adversity that makes her story - told with real humour, candour and wit - so captivating."
