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: "Der Fluch: Mein Leben mit der Transsexualität. Ein Report von Jenseits der Straße." (The curse: My life with transsexuality. A report from Jenseits der Straße)
"Katrin Lindemann is very lady: the hairstyle fits, a strong red adorns the full lips, the eye shadow emphasizes the dark eyes, the yellow top contrasts with the black hair. Only the slightly deeper voice and the firm pressure of the strong hands give an idea of what the dark-haired woman has complained about throughout her life: Katrin Lindemann is transsexual, she was a man – before.
Bad Schwartau – After a long period of suffering, the 54-year-old has finally mastered the sex change that she prefers to call reassignment – from man to woman, as she has always felt. In a process lasting many years, which was very difficult and painful for her, her wish came true: the boy Reiner Lindemann, born in 1948 in Frankfurt/Oder, who was married twice and fathered two children with his wives, finally became Katrin. The individual that she always wanted to be, »that I had to be«, as Katrin asserts."

Original title: "Fluch der Geburt: Mein Leben mit der Transsexualität" (Curse of birth - My life with transsexuality) by Katrin Lindemann.
On August 9, 2002, Katrin Lindemann began to write down her story, her life. A life with ups and downs. A life in which the intolerance of many people became a constant companion, but also a life that Katrin Lindemann didn't let get down.
Born Reiner Lindemann in 1948, she felt "something was wrong" early on, but there was still a long way to go before she finally changed her gender in 1992. This autobiography describes what often seemed like a "curse of birth". Without writing in a gimmicky or striking way, she tells of her life with transsexuality and thus provides deep insight, not only into her thoughts but also into our society.
