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.

Full title: "Transgression: My very public journey into becoming a (wo)man" by Noam Mercedes Kostucki.
"Transgression describes Noam’s inspirational journey of transformation from a stereotypical male to someone who does not fit into any box in existence. It shows what happens when a person decides to live by the words of T.S. Eliot "only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."
As I read the book, I found myself repeatedly thinking, “Wait, he isn’t actually going to do that?!” - only to find out that invariably, he did. Who gives up a secure corporate life to move to a third-world country and establish a “fine dining” restaurant having never done it before? Who opts to put on women’s clothing and walk in public, risking ridicule, professional suicide, and possibly getting beaten to death?
What does it take to look at the world from a completely original perspective, and then live it? What Transgression is not: A guide on how you should become gender fluid.A method for exploring your gender identity.A parenting handbook for parents on how to raise gender non-conforming children. What Transgression is: A story about one individual’s path to personal and professional growth and transformation."
