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.

Georgine Noël - Appelez-Moi Gina

Original title: "Appelez-Moi Gina" (Call me Gina) by Georgine Noël.

He or she? He then She? Changing sex, being born a man and becoming a woman? Or finally be what we have always been? Here is the story of the most amazing adventures experienced. On April 25, 1975, Doctor Georges Noël woke up in his hospital bed knowing that this was the end of a long and painful journey. From now on there is only Georgine Noël, Gina for close friends. But what terrible ordeals she had to pass!

When nature, family, and society have decreed otherwise, what to do with the fundamental mismatch between one's deepest drives and the gender of one's birth which one knows is not one's? And especially when you come from a local family, steeped in local tradition deep in the Belgian countryside. What to do if not return to solitude, and marginalization but also the struggle, desperate and courageous, to restore the truth of one's being, to restore harmony between one's body and one's mind.

And from doctors to examinations, from humiliations to revolts, we have to go all the way, until the final operation, the change of gender and marital status. A doctor herself, Georgine Noël tells us about her journey from the inside. A vibrant testimony, full of emotion and truth.
