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.

Jocelyne & Florence Haguenauer - Jean, Jocelyne

Original title: "Jean, Jocelyne" by Jocelyne and Florence Haguenauer.

She is a woman in her fifties. A little piece of woman who looks like so many others... Twenty years of marriage, an employee in a large company in the region where she is known as the white wolf for being a union delegate for many, many years, she could be your next-door neighbor, your work colleague or a friend with whom you like to share an evening of cinema, perhaps even go jogging on days of great courage. Jocelyne is certainly everybody. 

Except that three years ago, Jocelyne was a man. Anyway, that's what everyone believed. She had always known she was a woman, felt herself a woman, but her body indicated that she was Jean. Jean as a child ended up at the boys' school. Jean did his military service and was almost sent against striking workers in 1968. Jean became a technical agent at Thomson, was elected union representative by his work comrades, got married, and had an ordinary life. Except that he was in the depths of despair because he hated this man's body in which he was locked up.
