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.

Gry Stokkendahl Dalgas,
Original title: "At Performe Transkønnet Vrede" (Performing transgender anger) by Gry Stokkendahl Dalgas.
""Performing transgender anger" is Gry Stokkendahl Dalga's polyphonic, furious, and political call for better conditions for transgender people. Poetry, translations, essays, and fanfiction are intertwined in Gry Stokkendahl Dalga's work."
""Performing transgender anger", which with tenderness, indignation, and rage, cries out about the conditions and position of transgender people in society. Through the inclusion of references to other works, science, and a wide range of transgender people, the book portrays society's neglect of a large and vulnerable population while pointing the way to a better future."
