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.

Nina Gray - My Trans Life

Full title: "My Trans Life" by Nina Gray.

"My name is Nina Gray. I am Trans Lesbian, though have only been out since 2015. I grew up in the Scottish Highlands, and have lived in Scotland all of my life. I have worked within various fields of social care for the past 26 years. My personal passions are music, film, comedy, art, and literature. More recently times I have begun to reengage with my love of creating abstract visual art.

I started writing this just under a year prior to my vaginoplasty operation. The period building up to this felt like a good time to take stock of and reflect over my life to date. This felt to be a very cathartic process to engage in and also helped me feel sure that the major steps I was about to take felt right. There are several elements I have decided to write about. Sections of anecdotes of happenings that stand out in my memory for varying reasons, largely due to my finding amusing or odd. Details and thoughts about my relatively smooth transitioning process, which I feel may help serve as a positive example for people at earlier stages of similar processes."

"Finally, I indulge in sharing some details and thoughts about my passions/interests, as I always feel this helps to get a greater sense of a person. This is not a conventional biography, I tend to group together by what I see as being similar. Some sections are short and some are more meandering.I also enclose sections about transitioning in terms of how it is actually progressing for me and my recent vaginoplasty operation. There are other sections, such as ‘Sex’ where I refer to both my understanding of my gender and sexuality. As with anyone there are parts of life and stories that relate to, but have no direct relationship to, either my understanding of my gender or sexuality. A substantial proportion of these convey circumstances which could be termed as being far from ideal. I feel this can help remind that much of life’s challenges can have nothing to do with being trans or gay/lesbian. These stories are still just as relevant as anything else in conveying the rich tapestry of a life. I hope you find this an entertaining and informative read."
