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.

Otras Vidas. Activismo y Resiliencia Trans en Chile

Original title: "Otras Vidas. Activismo y Resiliencia Trans en Chile" (Other Lives. Trans Activism and Resilience in Chile).

The publication "Other Lives", which is part of a Fondart 2020 project, portrays the experiences of three Chilean trans women in different historical contexts. The stories of Katty Fontey, Silvia Parada and Carla Sepúlveda come together in a welcoming, enlightening and autobiographical book, which delves into the history and memory of the obstacles that trans people faced, and still face, in our country.

To this end, the text reviews relevant milestones, such as the configuration of San Camilo Street as a red light district in Santiago, their experience during the dictatorship and the persecution they faced, the HIV crisis in the eighties, and the formation of TravesChile after the return to democracy. More current events such as feminist marches and the struggle for the Gender Identity Law are also reported.

This unprecedented project was born thanks to a multidisciplinary work, made up of the photographer Constanza Bravo, the writer Gabriela Aguilera, and the graphic designer Nicolás Venturelli, who recorded the experiences of the protagonists textually and photographically.
