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.
"This is the story of a literally self-made woman. Kimmie Holland always knew deep down she was unsuited to be a man. But it wasn’t until years of depression, crippling panic attacks, a traumatic divorce, and a failed suicide attempt brought her face-to-face with the grim reality of her situation: either change or die.
So with nothing to lose and a pair of high heels, a skimpy black nightie, and a shoulder-length wig, she placed an ad on Craigslist asking the question “Can I Be Your Fake Girl?” Within minutes of posting, she got her answer: a resounding “yes” from dozens of men.
So she began her transformative journey from fake girl to real girl to a married woman. Part confession, part rant, part inspiration, A Girl the Hard Way is a message of hope and sisterly support to self-made girls everywhere, whether part-time, full-time, of whatever kind."
