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: "De Niño a Mujer: Biografía De Dolly Van Doll" (From Child to Woman: Biography of Dolly van Doll) by Pilar Matos.
Dolly Van Doll, stage name Carla Follis, was born in Turin (Italy) in 1938, at the dawn of the Second World War. Living childhood among bombs, hunger, and fear, can be reason enough to mark any human being and drag that trauma through a lifetime, but Carla has always managed to be reborn from the ashes of all the calamities with which she had to survive.
She was able to achieve not only the professional glory that her artistic talent gave her, but also achieve the happiness worked, sought, and achieved as a person. She was born Carlo Angelo Fernando, but in 1964 she went to Casablanca where she underwent gender reassignment surgery.
