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: "Tranny: Confissões da Anarquista Mais Infame e Vendida do Punk Rock" (Tranny: Confessions of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Selling Anarchist) is the Portuguese language edition of "Tranny: Confessions of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout" by Laura Jane Grace.
Since its inception in 1997, Against Me! Not only has it been one of the most influential punk bands in the world, but also one of the most controversial. Throughout their career towards success, they have been conquering new fans while raising blisters among the old guard who supported them from the beginning. They got into trouble with the law, changed drums repeatedly, and faced a furious horde of punks who called them "sell-out" and sabotaged their concerts.
But, beyond all this, something much more important disturbed Tom Gabel, the founder of the group; A secret that for thirty years he only revealed in the pages of his diary and hinted at in some of the lyrics of his songs. After a difficult childhood and delinquent adolescence marked by drug use, Gabel continued to struggle to find her own identity, until in May 2012 she revealed it to everyone in an interview for Rolling Stone: Gabel declared to be transgender, and since that day she lives as a woman under the name of Laura Jane Grace.

Original title: "Trans. Wyznania anarchistki, która zdradziła punk rocka" (Trans. Confessions of an anarchist who betrayed punk rock) is the Polish language edition of "Tranny: Confessions of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout" by Laura Jane Grace.
"Although Laura Jane Grace's birth certificate stated Thomas James, she felt from childhood that the name did not fit her. Being the son of a soldier, an anarchist, and the leader of the popular punk band Against me! was not enough. She wanted to be her. A daughter, a female anarchist, a female leader. In the world of punk rock, where time is marked by concerts, bottles of whiskey and drugs, anger, uncertainty and confusion become even more poignant. Grace, not allowing the true "I" to speak, throws herself into addictions, destroys the family, tries to suppress the desire for transition, and establishing her own identity becomes a serious source of tension in her everyday life."

Full title: "Tranny: Confessions of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout"
"It began in a bedroom in Naples, Florida, when a misbehaving punk teenager named Tom Gabel, armed with nothing but an acoustic guitar and a headful of anarchist politics, landed on a riff. Gabel formed Against Me! and rocketed the band from its scrappy beginnings-banging on a drum kit made of pickle buckets-to a major-label powerhouse that critics have called this generation's The Clash.
Since its inception in 1997, Against Me! has been one of punk's most influential modern bands, but also one of its most divisive. With every notch the four-piece climbed in their career, they gained new fans while infuriating their old ones. They suffered legal woes, a revolving door of drummers, and a horde of angry, militant punks who called them "sellouts" and tried to sabotage their shows at every turn."
