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.

Matías Uris - Veneno Collection

Original title: "Veneno Collection" by Matías Uris.

The book covers Cristina La Veneno's last photo shoot. It is a 2020 edition of the fanzine with unpublished material and text by Valeria Vegas. 

According to Wikiwand, Cristina Ortiz Rodríguez (1964-2016), better known as La Veneno ('Poisongirl'), was a Spanish singer, actress, sex worker, and media personality. Considered one of the most important and beloved LGBT icons in Spain, she rose to fame in 1996 after briefly appearing on the late-night talk show Esta noche cruzamos el Mississippi, broadcast on Telecinco between 1995 and 1997 and hosted by the journalist Pepe Navarro.

Alex Ander & Carlos V. Biedma - Veneno: De Adra a las estrellas...

Original title: "Veneno: De Adra a las estrellas, una biografía ilustrada" (Poison: From Adra to the stars, an illustrated biography) by Alex Ander and Carlos Valdivia Biedma.

25 years ago, Cristina, la Veneno, appeared for the first time on television by Pepe Navarro. Every night, millions of viewers watched a trans woman shamelessly talk about herself, her work, or her past. Soon, her charisma, her body, and her authenticity catapulted her to fame, which, as is often the case, brought with it ups and downs and moments of darkness. From then on, Cristina's life was a rollercoaster in which as soon as she earned millions of pesetas a night, she found herself in prison for fraud. On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of her appearance on television, and the 5th anniversary of her death, journalist Álex Ander and illustrator Carlos Valdivia come together to capture in text and illustrations the life of one of the greatest icons of recent decades.

Valeria Vegas & Cristina Ortiz - ¡Digo! Ni Puta Ni Santa

Original title: "¡Digo! Ni Puta Ni Santa. Las memorias de La Veneo" (Say! Neither bitch nor Santa. The memories of La Veneno) by Valeria Vegas and Cristina Ortiz.

Cristina La Veneno is able to present in her peculiar way, different themes, ranging from family to plastic surgery, sex, or prison drama. It is the story of a young man who fled his village transforming himself into a woman. Of a prostitute who sees her luck change. Of a famous person who never fought to be. 

Sincere and funny, she presents her life to us. An uncommon life, unique as its protagonist and that has a certain melodramatic air, which will serve to know a little more about Cristina, already, forever, La Veneno.
