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.

Marie Maxham - Dragonfly: A Memoir

Full title: "Dragonfly: A Memoir" by Marie Maxham.

"Marie Maxham was a nerdy little kid who read a lot of books and got picked last for everything. In college she learned that it was okay to be terrible at things as long as you enjoyed them. This opened the door to a tech career, dancing, circus arts, parenting, and more recently, writing."

"I was 51 years old when someone I’d never met spoke to me, using my voice. She had been locked away inside since I was a kid, a self I’d deemed too dangerous to be known to others. But the world had changed since she was imprisoned. My teenage child had made a different choice, had embraced their true self, and was living authentically. Maybe I could too."


It took time, and a series of small steps, furtive experiments, reading, reflection, leaps of faith, risk of losses great and small, and commitment. But the journey of renewal, regeneration, and integration would change me: my emotions, my body, my relationships… even my name. You are invited to take a front-row seat."
