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.
Full title: "One Sunny Afternoon: A Memoir of Trauma and Healing" by Amanda Jette Knox.
"For writer and human rights advocate Amanda Jetté Knox, the inspiring story of their family’s journey of love and acceptance, when both their child and partner came out as transgender one after the other, was the hopeful beginning to their new lives. Their tale, shared in her memoir Love Lives Here and embraced by readers everywhere, quickly found its way to the top of bestseller lists.
Yet in the spring of 2020, Amanda began to experience targeted attacks on social media, and they soon became the subject of a small but very vocal group that criticized their book’s success and their advocacy work. The intensity of the backlash grew and drove Amanda to contemplate suicide. But instead of taking their life, on one sunny afternoon, they went to the hospital to seek help."

Full title: "Love Lives Here: A Story of Thriving in a Transgender Family" by Amanda Jette Knox.
"While still a teenager, Amanda Jette Knox met the love of her life. They were wed at 20, and the first of three children followed shortly. Jetté Knox finally had the stability she craved--or so it seemed. Their middle child struggled with depression and avoided school.
The author was unprepared when the child she knew as her son came out as transgender at the age of eleven. Shocked, but knowing how important it was to support her daughter, Jetté Knox became an ardent advocate for trans rights.
But the story wasn't over. For many years, the author had coped with her spouse's moodiness, but that chronic unhappiness was taking a toll on their marriage. A little over a year after their child came out, her partner also came out as transgender. Knowing better than most what would lie ahead, Jetté Knox searched for positive examples of marriages surviving transition. When she found no role models, she determined that her family would become one."
