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.

Original title: "12-Kai kara tobiorite ichido shinda watashi ga tsutaetaikoto" １２階から飛び降りて一度死んだ私が伝えたいこと (What I Want to Share After Jumping from the 12th Floor and Dying Once) by Mocha (モカ) and Shingo Takano (高野真吾).
The book, co/written by Mocha and Shingo Takano, presents the life of Mocha, a Japanese business owner and cartoonist. In this book, Moca, who is a transgender woman, shares her extraordinary life journey, including surviving a suicide attempt and her subsequent commitment to helping others through free counseling. Her experiences touch on topics such as suicide, gender transition, depression, and loneliness. The book also includes original manga illustrations by Moca herself. Through her story, Moca sheds light on societal issues and offers hope to those who are struggling.
Mocha was born in Tokyo in 1986. After working as a Ginza hostess and a web design production company, she founded the cross-dressing event "Propaganda" in 2007. The business grew into the largest crossdressing event in Japan and earned over 10 million yen a year. She suffered from gender dysphoria, so she underwent gender reassignment surgery in Thailand with the money she earned when she was 23 years old. She changed her gender, became a manga artist, and started a company, and the business went well.
Although she was doing well at work, her manic-depressive disorder worsened. In the fall of 2015, she jumped from the roof of an apartment building. Miraculously, after surviving, she became conscious of her "contribution" to society, and since then she has consulted more than 600 people free of charge.
