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.

Alex Ander & Carlos V. Biedma - Veneno: De Adra a las estrellas...

Original title: "Veneno: De Adra a las estrellas, una biografía ilustrada" (Poison: From Adra to the stars, an illustrated biography) by Alex Ander and Carlos Valdivia Biedma.

25 years ago, Cristina, la Veneno, appeared for the first time on television by Pepe Navarro. Every night, millions of viewers watched a trans woman shamelessly talk about herself, her work, or her past. Soon, her charisma, her body, and her authenticity catapulted her to fame, which, as is often the case, brought with it ups and downs and moments of darkness. From then on, Cristina's life was a rollercoaster in which as soon as she earned millions of pesetas a night, she found herself in prison for fraud. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of her appearance on television, and the 5th anniversary of her death, journalist Álex Ander and illustrator Carlos Valdivia come together to capture in text and illustrations the life of one of the greatest icons of recent decades.
