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: "Manifeste d'une femme trans" (Manifesto of a trans woman) is the French language edition of "Outspoken: A Decade of Transgender Activism and Trans Feminism" by Julia Serano.
In this collection of essays, Julia Serano, trans woman and activist, analyzes the different mechanisms of cissexual privilege, as well as the sexism, misogyny and transphobia that permeate representations of trans women in the media, the arts and academia.
Her analysis offers new perspectives for interpreting the issues experienced by trans women in continuity with the theories, disagreements and solidarities developed within the feminist movement, and provide keys to building feminism by, for and with all women, whatever their stories and backgrounds.
According to Wikipedia, Julia Michelle Serano was born in 1967. She is an American writer, musician, spoken-word performer, trans–bi activist, and biologist, known for her transfeminist books Whipping Girl (2007), Excluded (2013), and Outspoken (2016). Her writing is frequently featured in LGBT and popular culture magazines. Assigned male at birth, she first consciously recognized in herself a desire to be female during the late 1970s, when she was 11 years old. A few years later, she began crossdressing.
At first, she crossdressed secretively, but she eventually started identifying herself openly as a "male crossdresser." Serano attended her first support group for crossdressers in 1994 while she lived in Kansas. In 1998, she moved to the San Francisco Bay Area where she met her wife, and around then, she began identifying as not only a crossdresser but also transgender and bigender. In 2001, she began medically transitioning and identifying as a trans woman.
