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.

Patricia Ribeiro - Ontem Homem, Hoje Mulher

Original title: "Ontem Homem, Hoje Mulher" (Yesterday Man, Today Woman)

João Décio Ferreira, a doctor, one of the leading specialists in gender change surgeries, was immediately interested in the case of the boy with a girl figure. Patricia was still Nuno, but whoever saw her saw a woman. Blonde, expressive-looking, and a smiling girl, trapped in the wrong body. Only, when she managed to free herself from the body that imprisoned her, the singer went through a long ordeal.

First, as a child, she struggled with identity issues. She played with dolls and that was the nickname she had at school. She cried in the silence of the room. At one point, increasingly aware that something was going on, Patricia would put together coins that she then exchanged for girly clothes and make-up. It was at the fair, and in the stores of the 300, that she was tied up in women's accessories.

She left home in her late teens. She ended up prostituting herself, to survive. She had to pay bills. But music has always been her goal, since, as a boy, she signed up and passed in the castings for the Group of Young Singers of Lisbon. She even released a CD at the age of 19 as Ricky, a popular singer. The tragedy of prostitution continued to fall on days, making them black.

At the same time, she began to try to become more and more feminine. She underwent several plastic surgeries and ran serious risks by applying industrial silicone clandestinely. She lived through the hardship of a long process, which for her began in childhood. Her grandmother, Antonina, was, and always will be, her biggest pillar. The voice on the other end of the line when your girl suffers.
