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.

Original title: "Emma" by Emma Ellingsen and Kaja Storrøsten.
Emma Ellingsen was born as Tobias, but always knew she was a girl. She grew up in an ordinary family in Tønsberg with a twin brother and two older siblings. While his twin brother was into football, Tobias would rather dance and dress in girls' clothes. It'll pass, Mom and Dad thought.
By the time the two brothers started 5th grade, they had become brother and sister. At the age of 19, Emma tells her very special story about what it's like to be born in the wrong body.
According to Wikipedia, Emma Ellingsen (born in 2001) is a Norwegian model and YouTube vlogger. Her YouTube channel features makeup tutorials and travel videos. She works with the Oslo-based modeling agency Team Models. Growing up in Nøtterøy, a town in the vicinity of Oslo, she came out to her family and friends as transgender when she was around nine years old.
As a child, she was featured in the Norwegian documentary Born in the Wrong Body, which focused on her and other transgender children in Norway.
By age 17, she became a popular model, appearing on several cover stories for Norwegian fashion magazines and becoming one of the hottest names on Scandinavian social media.
