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.

Original title: "Gli Uni & Gli Altri: Travestiti e Travestimenti nell’Arte, nel cinema, nel teatro, nella musica, nel cabaret e nella vita quotidiana" (One & The Other. Travesti in art, in cinema, in theater, in music, in cabaret, and in everyday life) by Gillo Dorfles, Giovanni Buttagava, Gianni Romoli, Peppo Delconte, Carlo Romano.
In society "they" do not recognize
"the Others". The mask has always attenuated the contrasts and exalted the
shadow ambiguity. This collection of essays aims
to seize a particular moment of the mask, stand it out in its actuality when one becomes the other, the man a woman, the
woman a man, the man/woman the androgyne, the flower, the "difference"
on the morphological dictatorship of habits of sense and form.
This is the flower that blossoms in the visual arts, theatre, cinema, music
of the younger generations, in the cabaret, in the variety show, and in daily life. The Flower whose roots sink into
European and Asian civilization, which crosses secular and religious cultures,
the north and the south, the people and the nobility, which is found in Apollo e
Dionisio, in the art galleries, in the mercantile structure of the "loisir",
right into the secret closets of education and the corners of the toilets
public of the city. Cursed are those in which it flourishes as the
policeman, judge, bureaucrat, or saint!
