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: "Når Sjælen Brænder: En guide for transkønnede" (When the Soul Burns: A Guide for Transgender People) by Michelle Klæstrup.
For many years, Michelle Klæstrup struggled with anxiety, low self-esteem, and lack of self-confidence, fighting for her surroundings to perceive her as normal and completely ordinary. She did not dare to tell and involve others in the many terrible problems that were part of her daily life during these many years.
Today, she has freed herself from most of her demons, and now shares with readers her many years of experience.
This publication touches on the topics of gender identity, sexuality, and not least, psychological and physical influences.

Original title: "Forklædt som man: Da far blev mor" (Disguised as a man: When dad became a mother) by Michelle Klæstrup.
As a young man, he was a soldier. As a little older, he became a football player. He was fit and masculine. Yes, he even appeared in the newspaper because he saved a girl from drowning. The ladies loved him. They all thought he was a real man.
There was just one problem. He thought he was a woman.
This is Michelle Klæstrup's story - about the time she was disguised as a man. And when she became a woman. It's the story of how doctors called her a pervert, how her son ran away from home when she started having breasts and how her wife sent her to a sex club to find out what she was really into. It is the honest and uninhibited story of being transgender in Denmark, told more sadly, excitingly, funny, and beautifully than ever before. From boyhood's first innocent pair of girls' panties - to the irrevocably final farewell to manhood in an operating room in Thailand in 2013.
