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.

This is the English language edition of "Wandlung: Eine Lebensbeichte" (Conversion: A confession of life) by Niels Hoyer. The book was published in 1053 and had numerous re-editions, including in 2004, 2016, and 2020.

In 1932, Lili Elbe published the book titled "Ein Mensch Weschselt Sein Geschlecht" (A man changes his sex), edited by Niels Hoyer (a pseudonym for Ernst Harthern).

The book is about Lili Elbe, also known as Lili Ilse Elvenes, a Danish painter and transgender woman, one of the first recipients of gender reassignment surgery in the world, an experience recounted in her posthumously published memoir, Man Into Woman, and the subject of the 2000 book and 2015 film, The Danish Girl.

In 1954, Niels Hoyer published the same book under his name and with a slightly changed title: "Wandlung: Eine Lebensbeichte" (Conversion: A confession of life).
