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.

Teri Louise Kelly - Bent

"A memoir in her most personal voice, Teri Louise Kelly tells us what it is like to be born in the wrong body. "Let's forget the flounce and frills and sugar and spice; this isn't Cinderella and there aren't any glass slippers or pumpkins that change into carriages, but there is the simple madness of everyday existence as adequate compensation.

And while there may not be many tears, there are tantrums and insane asylums, and self-deprecating binges. None of which has anything to do with the most bizarre decision a person could make - changing one's sex - but all of which are central to this tale of outlandish head games with oneself and one's imaginary self, a three-foot-tall high priestess of mass deception.

After all, if you're going to write a book about changing sex, then why not bend it completely out of shape and give it some balls?" A surreal, courageous, and compelling account of one person's realization, transition, and reemergence, you will not soon forget Bent."

In 2015, I talked to Teri and asked her about why she decided to write your autobiography: "Because it was time, I’d put it off for years mainly because I couldn’t find a way to write it, you know, an unconventional way. I mean what’s the point if you write it like everyone else has?
