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: "I wasn't the woman I am until... Until I Met Black Men" by Hope Giselle.
"We continue to follow Hope on her journey through what it means to be a black woman whilst navigating what it meant to be a black man. Giselle takes us through what it was like to build relationships to black men who often saw her as a deficit rather than a contributor and lovers who sought to explore themselves through her own journey revealing in the self deprecative nature of her transness as it led her to lack the will to be corrective in relationships.
With this work Giselle seeks to answer the age old question asked to black queer people at some point in their lives. "what made you this way".

Full title: "Becoming Hope: Removing the Disguise" by Hope Giselle.
Hope Giselle is an American activist from Miami, writer, artist, activist, founder of The #AllowMe Movement, and author of the biographical book titled “Becoming Hope: Removing the Disguise” (2018).
I interviewed Hope Giselle in 2020, and this is what she told me about this book: "I was honestly tired of the limited view of trans women from the lens of a struggle that leads to prostitution and then later success. I wanted a raw account from a kid that grew up in “the ghetto” and always found a better way to see my surroundings."
