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.

Original title: "Miwa akihiro to iu ikikata" 美輪明宏という生き方 (The Way of Life of Akihiro Miwa) by Junko Mitsuhashi 三橋 順子, Toji Kamada, Ikuko Matsumoto, Angel Yuri, and Nobara Takemoto.
In the 1950s, a beautiful boy dressed in a purple costume suddenly appeared in Ginza. He captivated the audience with his good looks and beautiful voice, causing a stir in the mass media. Who is he? Man? Woman? At that time, there were still not many people who could take hid intense and alien brilliance directly.
Akihiro Miwa, who dramatically sings about those who go crazy in love, mothers who think of their children, and songs that are peaceful, has a wide range of activities to be a singer. A muse of artists, a shaman for the afflicted, a rare stage performer, a writer who laments and encourages the aesthetic poverty of our time. As the times finally begin to catch up, the existence of Akihiro Miwa is illuminated from various angles, and the essence of his/her world and way of life is approached.
