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.
Full title: "Eva's World: A Real Woman’s Life" by Ella Marques.
This is the third book by Ella Marques. "I was born a boy, from Venus: It's time to be yourself" (2017) was the first autobiography of Ella Marques. In 2020, she published her second book: "Coming Home to Venus: The story of a woman transitioning to her real self".
"Eva’s World is the story of a transgender pansexual hard-working woman that travels the world for business and pleasure. She and her three friends Linda, Olympia and Victoria come together regularly, talk about their lives, their loves and their expectations. Two of these girls are transgender, the other two are cisgender - their lives and expectations are similar, just some small differences. This is a positive book about life as a very privileged transgender person, about traveling, about fun, expectations but above all about love. Yes, transgender women are women. They live, they love, and they can be quite normal. All I ask is that you open your eyes."

Full title: "I was born a boy, from Venus: It's time to be yourself" by Ella Marques.
This book was the first autobiography of Ella Marques. In 2020, she published her second book: "Coming Home to Venus: The story of a woman transitioning to her real self".
In her introduction on Amazon, Ella Marques wrote: "I am in the process of transitioning from male to female (MTF) at the age of sixty. I would like to share with you my extraordinary life, not only because I am transgender, but because I am an international person who has lived in many countries, gone to some of the best schools in the world, worked at management levels within international companies, and had many different, wild, and wonderful experiences. "

Full title: "Coming Home to Venus: The story of a woman transitioning to her real self" by Ella Marques.
In her introduction on Amazon, Ella Marques wrote: "In my first book, I Was Born a Boy, from Venus, I wrote my autobiography, stories about the great life experiences I had, about the struggles I went through, and about the beginnings of my transition. This book, Coming Home to Venus, is about my transition, from the first steps I took up to gender reassignment surgery, what happened, the changes I went through, the lessons I learned, the changes in and to my environment, the similar experiences of others, and what I expect for the future."
I interviewed Ella twice in 2017 and 2020. Each discussion with her was a great inspiration for me. This is what she said about this book: "Coming home to Venus is a book about change. About becoming yourself, the steps to becoming fully yourself, in this case being a transgender woman. I hope many trans people read the book and take it as a roadmap for transition and many cis people understand what is change in the history of a trans woman.
