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.

"Las Biuty Queens: Stories" is the English language edition of "Las biuty queens" by Iván Monalisa Ojeda.
With a cheeky and honest look, Iván Monalisa Ojeda immerses himself in the transvestite universe of the New York streets. The stories in this book narrate her life and that of her companions, Latin American transsexuals who make the street, smoke crystal meth, participate in beauty contests, look for clients on high heels and are victims of Trump's new immigration policies. A world where laughter, survival, death and love will be glimpsed in a city that fascinates and corners the protagonists.
The narrative talent of Iván Monalisa Ojeda, who plays with a street language full of rhythm, freedom and freshness, places him as a surprising and particular voice in current Latin American literature.
"Iván Monalisa Ojeda was born in the late sixties in southern Chile and grew up on the shores of Lake Llanquihue. He/she studied theater at the University of Chile, in Santiago, and when he/she got his/her degree, Iván Monalisa settled in New York, where he/she currently lives. He/she published an essay collection, La Misma Nota, Forever (Sangria Publishers, 2014) and has written articles for magazines and plays.
