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: "Pendeja: Diario de una adolescente trans" (Pendeja: Diary of a Trans Teenager) by Carolina Unrein.
"I don't blame anyone for not knowing what it meant to be trans from 2004 to 2012, which was when I went to primary school. In fact, the Gender Identity Law was sanctioned precisely in 2012.
What I do blame my teachers for is for having taught me that I had to be ashamed of crying, of wanting to play with my female classmates. The teaching that this is wrong and that being this way is wrong and that there is something wrong with your being. I don't blame them for not having the best answer, but I do blame them for having the worst possible. It is not necessary to have specific training on trans childhood to avoid the most perverse and painful responses and teaching mechanisms that can be given to a child."

Original title: "Fatal: una crónica trans" (Fatal: A trans chronicle) by Carolina Unrein.
"I, Carolina Unrein, me, the kid with the cute ass, me, the survivor of sexual abuse, me, the one with the eating disorder, the anxious, the lonely, me, the fucking, the faggot, the tranny, I, Carolina Unrein, declare myself fed up with this world of terror and horror, of this world without opportunities, fed up with this world of shit that takes one of us every ninety-six hours."
Carolina Unrein is a writer and actress who has made significant waves in both the literary and artistic realms. Hailing from Diamante, Entre Ríos, she ventured to Buenos Aires in pursuit of opportunities. Carolina is the author of three novels in the young adult genre: “Pendeja,” “Fatal,” and “El viaje real.”
In “Fatal,” she candidly shares her personal experiences related to her transition with remarkable intimacy. Her writing resonates with young readers, providing them with a voice and companionship they may not have had before.
