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: "Ich pfeif' auf alles...!: Das Leben der Kunstpfeiferin Baronesse Lips von Lipstrill" (I don't give a damn...!: The life of the artistic whistler Baroness Lips von Lipstrill) by Jeanette Schmid
I found this interesting bio note in one of the Amazon reviews: "Jeanette Schmid was born in 1924 as Rudolf Schmid in today's Czech Republic. While his peers climbed trees, Klein-Rudi prefers to play with dolls and dress up as a girl. He likes to sing well. He entertains his surroundings with theatre and dance performances.
In 1941 he was drafted into the Wehrmacht and stationed in Italy. Due to his appearance, he does not really correspond to the Aryan ideal and gets one or the other male courtships. After suffering from typhus, he returns to his family in the Sudetenland in a roundabout way, only to flee from the reprisals of the Czechs shortly after the end of the war.
