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.

Alana Portero and Others - Vidas Trans

Original title: "Vidas Trans" (Trans Lives) by Alana Portero, Arnau Macías, Cassandra Vera, Darío Gael Blanco, Atenea Bioque, Qamar B. Al-Khansa.

Trans people are one of the worst-treated groups in our society. In a country with a life expectancy of eighty-three years, we allow a social group, that of trans women, to be subjected to such a degree of violence that it barely reaches fifty. This data alone should alert the media, implement specific laws, and promote reparation measures. But none of that happens.

On the contrary, this group has to continue to endure very serious deficiencies in their medical treatment, constant institutional violence, unemployment that is close to eighty-five percent and humiliation by society. In this book, several trans people tell their experiences in different fields: work, the education system, social networks, family, marriage, media and the medical system. They speak in the first person of their experiences under the shadow of that violence, but also of their courage and their struggle.
