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.

Letizia Muratori - Una vita da donna

Original title: "Una vita da donna" (A Life of a Woman) by Letizia Muratori.

Doris Wishman was a less famous director than Ida Lupino, but also a very prolific professional in years when, for a woman, it was not easy to be. Pragmatic and determined, when she could not find money to direct one of her legendary B-movies, she dedicated herself with the same application and the same disenchantment to selling dedicated objects in a sex shop. Wishman's story is little known that needed to be told, also because it helps to understand how sex and gender have a variable geometry, often for reasons very different from those we imagine.

Zoe, for example, another figure we meet on these pages, has lived as a man for sixty-two years and decides to face the male-to-female transition very late. She is driven by a legitimate, subtle, and very strong desire: to see at least a stretch of life that had always been told to coincide with the one she lives.
