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.

Junko Mitsuhashi - Josō to nihonjin

Original title: "Josō to nihonjin" 女装と日本人 (Cross-dressing and Japan) by Junko Mitsuhashi 三橋 順子.

The myth of Yamato Takeru, medieval cross-dressing chigo, female Kabuki actors, Edo Yinma, modern transsexuals... Why do we get excited about things that transcend gender? You can find the answers in the book "Crossdresser and Japanese" by Junko Mitsuhashi.

Junko Mitsuhashi is a historian who specializes in the social and cultural history of sexuality. She lectures at a variety of schools including Meiji University and Tsuru University. She is a specialist in socio-cultural histories of gender and sexuality, Mitsuhashi’s own experience as a transgender woman has made her an authority on the history of transgender society and culture. In 2005, she was in charge of Japan's first specialized course on "transgender theory" at Ochanomizu University.
