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.

Susan Aldous & Pornchai Sereemongkolpol - Ladyboys

Full title: "Ladyboys: The Secret World of Thailand's Third Gender".

"An intimate portrait of Thailand's ladyboys, the men who have chosen to become women. Funny, passionate, angry, and provocative, 'Ladyboys' is a no-holds-barred look at the secretive lives of Thailand's transsexual women.

Here, they offer intimate details of their lives that they've never publicly revealed. They talk about the choices they've made, their relationships, families, frustrations, and hopes. The stories include those of an exotic cabaret performer, a sex worker, and even a Muay Thai boxing champion."


According to Wikipedia, "Kathoey or katoey is an identity used by some people in Thailand, whose identities in English may be best described as transgender women in some cases, or effeminate gay men in other cases."

"Transgender women in Thailand mostly use terms other than kathoey when referring to themselves, such as phuying. A significant number of Thai people perceive kathoey as belonging to a separate sex, including some transgender women themselves. In the face of the many sociopolitical obstacles that kathoeys navigate in Thailand, kathoey activism has led to legal recognition as of January 2015."
