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.

Matthias Maximus - El Nunca Más de las locas

Original title: "El Nunca Más de las locas: Resistencia y deseo en la última dictadura" (The Nunca Más de las locas: Resistance and desire in the last dictatorship) by Matthias Maximus.

The persecution, kidnapping, torture, and murder of gays, lesbians, transvestites, and trans people was systematic in both military and civilian governments. Forty years after the return of democracy, the time has come to think about whether the emblematic figure of 30,000 is complete without the disappeared individuals of the LGBT+ community. Why don't words like "transvestite," "homosexual," "puto," "gay," "lesbian," "tortillera," "inverted" appear in the CONADEP report? How could a transvestite approach the disappearance of her partner, if because of her identity she could also be detained? How could a Marica militant complain about a kidnapping if the revolutionary organizations themselves discriminated against her?
