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.

Julieta Morales - Santa Carolina

Original title: "Santa Carolina" (Saint Caroline) by Julieta Morales.

Santa Carolina is the story of Carol Murcia, a Honduran trans woman who was forced to flee her country. During a sex work outing, one of her colleagues was brutally murdered by a man in a clear hate attack. The transfemicide of her friend was nothing more than the tip of the iceberg of sexist violence: from the homophobia of Honduran criminal organizations to the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, through the absence of the State.

Carol had to escape to Barcelona to avoid the same fate as her partner, requesting asylum for persecution based on gender identity. In Catalonia, her face papered the streets as the visible face of Pride 2018 while, behind the scenes, transphobia showed that it knew no borders. Europe had not fulfilled its homework either.
