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: "Tragisch, aber geil 2.0" (Tragic but Horny 2.0) by Barbie Breakout.
""Tragic, but horny 2.0" is the completely revised and supplemented remake of Barbie's first autobiography from 2012. Full of unvarnished truths, touching observations and roaring comical insights into the life of a unique drag queen."
"A glimpse into Bärbel's world. I learned a lot about them. And in fact, one or two things about me. Thank you for the mirror you hold up to me, or to all of us. And thanks for the inspiration." Conchita Wurst
"A book like a best friend: sometimes wise, sometimes hilarious, when necessary, lovingly vulgar and always, always honest." Paul Schulz

Original title: "Tragisch, aber geil: Zu wahr, um schön zu sein" (Tragic, but awesome: Too true to be beautiful) by Barbie Breakout.
To come up with an autobiography after only 34 years of life may seem presumptuous. Especially if, despite all the notoriety, you really aren't an international celebrity. But as soon as you have read the first few pages of "Tragic, but awesome", you realize that a life is being told here in which there is more than enough history that wanted to be written.
Often with shameful openness and never too vain, Barbie tells her life, in which, in addition to sex, drugs and scandals, it is always about the search for personal happiness. A sincere, honest book full of emitions and filled with sometimes touching, sometimes hilarious stories. A snapshot of a stunning city, a guide to a life that never gets boring and, last but not least, a support for anyone who is struggling in their life. You don't have to know or like Barbie Breakout to feel at home in this book and have a lot of completely politically incorrect
