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.

Erika Shepard - Trans-Formations

Full title: "Trans-Formations: From Field Boots to Sensible Heels" by Erika Shepard.

"On a blazing summer day in Missouri, 1956, eight-year-old Richard discovers a sparkling rock on the railroad tracks near his home - and is fascinated. In that same year, he makes another unexpected discovery - an aching, forbidden desire to be a girl. A lifetime of secrecy follows until, at the edge of a cliff in remote southern Idaho, he faces a decision - to die as a man or live as a woman.

Transformations is more than a memoir of transgenderism. It reflects important crossroads we all encounter in our lives - times of self-doubt and failure, other moments of great success and joy. It is a journey all of us share, one leading to that profound question we, at some point in our lives, must ask ourselves: Who am I?"

"Erika Shepard is a transgender woman and retired minerals exploration geologist. Abomination Child is her second book, the first being her memoir titled Trans-Formations: From Field Boots to Sensible Heels, published in 2020. In a very personal way, both her memoir and Abomination Child explore the relationship of societal prejudice and the often painful process of coming out as transgender.

Her message in both books is this: Despite the difficulties, the people who really love you will stand by you and love you even more when you can be your authentic self. She wants you to know it is worth it, and it does get better. Erika lives with her dog Finn (who is a Good Boy) in Bellingham, Washington. She continues to travel to geologically interesting places around the world and loves expounding on the wonders of geology to anyone who will listen."
