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.
"The true story of a girl born into a boy's body and her struggle to find her real identity in a conservative family. Born a boy in post-war Germany, Paula Goergen uprooted to live in Ireland and was constantly on a voyage of self-discovery, struggling to find her true gender identity while trying to maintain a normal life, which finally culminated in gender transition and re-alignment surgery.
Now under self-imposed exile in the UK, Paula tells the dramatic story of what it means to struggle with gender identity and the high price to be paid for facing up to the truth."

"Minu lugu" (My Story) is the Estonian language edition of "Tula: My Story" by Caroline Cossey.
Tula: My Story takes readers deep into the extraordinary life of Caroline Cossey, the British model and actress widely recognized by her stage name, Tula. Released in 1991, the memoir builds upon her earlier work, Tula: I Am a Woman (1982), expanding the scope of her personal and public journey. In this second account, Cossey offers an unflinching look at what it meant to navigate fame, identity, and discrimination as a transgender woman. At a time when trans voices were seldom heard, her story stood out as groundbreaking, both deeply personal and historically significant.
Caroline Cossey was born on August 31, 1954, in the quiet village of Brooke, Norfolk, assigned male at birth. She would later learn that she had XXXY syndrome, an intersex condition that influenced her naturally feminine features during adolescence. Unaware of the diagnosis for much of her youth, Caroline endured relentless teasing that amplified her feelings of loneliness and confusion. Yet, amid the pain, she found small islands of joy, especially in moments spent with her sister Pam, as they dressed up and imagined different futures together. These early acts of exploration planted the seeds for what would become the heart of her memoir: a testament to resilience, self-discovery, and the courageous pursuit of authenticity.
