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.

Matías Uris - Veneno Collection

Original title: "Veneno Collection" by Matías Uris.

The book covers Cristina La Veneno's last photo shoot. It is a 2020 edition of the fanzine with unpublished material and text by Valeria Vegas. 

According to Wikiwand, Cristina Ortiz Rodríguez (1964-2016), better known as La Veneno ('Poisongirl'), was a Spanish singer, actress, sex worker, and media personality. Considered one of the most important and beloved LGBT icons in Spain, she rose to fame in 1996 after briefly appearing on the late-night talk show Esta noche cruzamos el Mississippi, broadcast on Telecinco between 1995 and 1997 and hosted by the journalist Pepe Navarro.

She would later appear regularly on the show as well as on La sonrisa del pelícano. Distinguished for her spectacular appearance and profane humor, La Veneno was one of the first transgender women to become widely known in Spain, and has since been recognised as a pioneering trans icon. In 2020, a critically acclaimed series produced by Atresmedia following her life became a hit show in Spain.
