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.

Erin Shale - Inside out: An Australian collection of coming...

Full title: "Inside out: An Australian collection of coming out stories" by Erin Shale.

"An anthology of real life stories from the Australian gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community. Drawn from a wide range of experiences, cultural backgrounds and age groups, the collection explores the challenges and rewards of finding a way out of the closet and living a life of truth and integrity... Contributors include Monique Brumby, Dorothy McRae-McMahon, Sue-Ann Post, Bob Brown, and Ian Roberts."

"One of the most important achievements of adolescence and a crucial step towards becoming a happy, productive adult, is the process of identity formation. This involves defining who you are, what you value, and the direction you choose for your life. This search for self is becoming increasingly difficult for many young people, as is evidenced by the current record levels of substance abuse, depression, deliberate self-harm, and suicide.

By any objective analysis, it would seem that the tasks of adolescence are extremely tough, and the support once provided by family, school and peers is becoming increasingly ineffective or absent altogether. The available evidence suggests that in most cases, young people gather enough resilience to make the transition from childhood to adulthood, and in the process are affirmed in the choices they ultimately make."
