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.

Gabriella Romano - Il mio nome è Lucy

Original title: "Il mio nome è Lucy. L'Italia del XX secolo nei ricordi di una transessuale" (My name is Lucy. Italy in the twentieth century in the memories of a transsexual)

"The short century with different eyes: those of Luciano, born in 1924, first a restless child from the Piedmontese province, then a "different" teenager in fascist Bologna, and immediately after being a deserter on September 8, deported to Dachau and freed by the allies, and after the war migrated to Turin on the wings of the economic boom, where she changed sex in the eighties and then returned, as a mature woman, in the house and in the neighborhood that knew him as a boy.

An eighty-year-long history that is intertwined with that of our country and its social, cultural, and political turns, and sheds light on its most shadowy sides, on the expedients, places, languages, transformations of sexual diversity, always poised between secrecy and exhibition, between insecurity and the full claim of a conscious otherness."
