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.

Robert L. Bentley - Dangerous Games

Full title: "Dangerous Games" by Robert L. Bentley.

The book is about Leslie Elaine Perez (1938-2005), born Leslie Douglas Ashley. She was a convicted murderer who took part in the murder of Fred Tones, a Houston-based real estate broker. She did it with Carolyn Lima. They were both working as prostitutes at the time of the murder. She was convicted and sentenced to death but her sentence was reduced to 15 years, and in the end, she served five.

After five years of chopping cotton in Texas prison farms, she was released, and soon after she underwent a gender reassignment surgery. At the beginning of the 1970s, she became a leader in the gay community of Houston and got involved in US politics, which lead to her being elected to local office in Texas.
