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.

Juan Carlos Usó Arnal - Orgullo travestido: Egmont de Bries...

Original title: "Orgullo travestido: Egmont de Bries y la repercusión social del transformismo en la España del primer tercio del siglo XX" (Transvestite Pride: Egmont de Bries and the social impact of transformism in Spain in the first third of the twentieth century) by Juan Carlos Usó Arnal.

The fascinating life of the transformist Egmont de Bries, the star of female impersonation in the Spanish scene of the 20s of the last century, and where heteronormativity was sanctioned by law as the only valid social model, gives rise to reflect on the past, present and future of gender identity and condition. He died sadly, fané and detached, in Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War. Famous in his time, De Bries died in the most pitiful vulgarity, attended by charitable friends at the last minute. The book is illustrated with 80 images of great documentary value, in many cases of surprising beauty.
