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: "História De Joana Transexual" (Story of Transsexual Joana) is the Portuguese language edition of "Histoire de Jeanne transsexuelle" by Catherine Rihoit and Jeanne Nolais.
Joana Nolais's autobiography was written together with journalist Catherine Rihoit, as Joana was not a writer and needed support to organize her ideas.
Joana wrote her story at the age of sixty-four
of age, four years after gender reassignment surgery. For her, her autobiography had the purpose of opening a space of existence and social recognition. For us,
it is a record that invites dialogue and a look at transsexuality.
Right from the start, Joana refers to two possible paths for transsexuals, either to hide or show off like circus animals. There are not a variety of options to choose from,
when you are transsexual, society does not recognize transgender people and wants nothing to do with transsexuality.
