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.

Sander Marsman - Dianna: Every Day is Dressed Up

Full title: "Dianna: Every Day is Dressed Up" by Sander Marsman.

"Dianna an extremely youthful 78 year old, born Leonard, only recently began to live as a woman full time. The book is a testament to her personal journey and bravery. Marsman’s intimate photographs are mixed with Dianna’s artful self-portraits taken from the 1950s until the present.

The book follows Dianna’s sartorial secret life, including a list and description of the 220 articles of clothing in her wardrobe. ‘Every Day is Dressed Up’ questions the nature of identity in a personal and intimate way. - Cheryl Newman and Livia Bonadio"

"Dianna was born in 1935 as Léonard. For 55 years she lived her daily life as a man, but privately dressed herself as Dianna, making only occasional public appearances as a woman. When Léonard retired, Dianna had more time and space to exist, and she was able to do so publicly. Sander Marsman’s book Dianna: Every Day Is Dressed Up, designed by Sigridur Asa Juliusdottir, includes a collection of Dianna’s self-portraits from her personal album, made from the 1940s onwards, alongside Marsman’s own portraits of her, created during the daily ritual of visually becoming Dianna."
