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: "I mitt namn: En bok om att vara trans" (In my name: A book about being trans) by Moa-Lina Olbers Croall.
The book is based on interviews with trans people – everything from young people in middle school and high school to role models such as actress and winner of the Award for Best Female Lead Role in 2015 - Saga Becker, stage poet Yolanda Bohm and head of school and former principal Lina Axelsson Kihlblom, who came out as trans in Skavlan in the autumn of 2015.
The book also contains facts about trans and tips for anyone who is transgender. It's a book for young people pondering their gender identity, but it's also aimed at those around a transgender person, such as school staff, friends, and family.
Moa-Lina Croall (born 1982) is a Swedish author and musician. Moa-Lina has written several books for children and young people and teaches at Biskops Arnö's songwriting training.
