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: "Jag kom inte ut: Jag blev mig själv" (I didn't come out: I became myself) by Ann-Christine Ruuth.
""I want to write a cohesive story that's not just about 'what did your kids say?' or how it went to be told at work. It will, of course, be an autobiography, but I want to bring in other perspectives and broaden the content.
How is it possible, after a life as a man for over 50 years, to start living as a woman without being questioned or even laughed at? What this then meant in a clerical, ecclesiastical context where such persons were not even in the imaginary world also has its place in the story."

Original title: "Min pappa Ann-Christine" (My dad Ann-Christine)
In 2010, a 58-year-old priest and father of three Åke Roxberg came out as Ann-Christine and since then has lived as a woman. This is his daughter Esther's story of what happens when you suddenly have a father named Ann-Christine. No one was prepared for the hobby-making priest and father of three, Åke Roxberg, to change his life, least of all the family.
Ester Roxberg writes about losing a parent, who still remains in a different guise. She tries to understand and accept, hides her wrath, puts puzzles with her recollections. She remembers her childhood as the priest's youngest and wild daughter and her upbringing in Zimbabwe and Småland during a time when the secret was still hidden.
