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: "Aietirafat sayid sali: alqisat almuthirat litalib altibi aladhi tahawal alaa aimra'ati/ sali" اعترافات سيد سالي : القصة المثيرة لطالب الطب الذي تحول الى امرأة/ سالي (Confessions of Mr. Sally: The Thriller Story of Medical Student-turned-Woman/Sally) by Sally Mursi.
The book includes the confessions of Sally Mursi, a charismatic transgender pioneer from Egypt. According to Wikipedia, Sally Mursi (ar: سالي مرسي, born in 1968) is an Egyptian entertainer and transgender woman. Her sex reassignment surgery in 1988 stirred a lot of controversy and lawsuits in Egypt. Before she pursued medical operations, Mursi consulted with psychologist Salwa Jirjis Labib and underwent three years of conversion therapy, after which she was referred to a plastic surgeon Ezzat Ashamallah, who affirmed the diagnosis of "psychological hermaphroditism" and prescribed hormone replacement therapy for one year prior performing surgery on January 29, 1988.

Original title: "Mouzakarat Randa al-Trans" (Memoirs of Randa the Trans) by Randa & Hazem Saghyieh.
"Mouzakarat Randa al-Trans", or "The Memoirs of Randa the Trans", co-written by the Lebanese journalist and the protagonist of his story, Randa – Fouad in her previous life – recounts with brutal honesty what it means to be transsexual in the Middle East. Two rapes, a marriage of convenience, starvation, and the thought of suicide.
All this painful baggage is present, as therapy and catharsis in the book. As well as the death threats suffered in her native Algeria that forced her to leave her home and her son, the result of a marriage of convenience, and take refuge in Beirut.
