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.

Milla Johansson - Att våga blomma ut: Att få leva ifred i sin...

Original title: "Att våga blomma ut: Att få leva ifred i sin egen identitet är långt ifrån en självklart" (Dare to blossom: Being allowed to live in peace in one's own identity is far from given) by Milla Johansson.

Milla lived with a male identity for 40 years. But something was wrong. At first, it was mostly a longing that she didn't understand. In her younger teens, she began to understand what it was all about and from about the age of 20-25 and up to 40 life became more and more unbearable as she forced herself to live in a male identity while wanting to live as the woman she knew herself as. The male identity that she felt society expected of her.

In the end, the whole world collapsed and she ended up in addiction and a deep quagmire of obsessions, compulsions, and anxiety. Years passed and she toiled every day to get back on her feet. It wasn't until she was admitted to the psychiatric emergency room after attempting to commit suicide that she began to turn around. Today, Milla is a much more prosperous woman who is out lecturing about her journey to help others. She does this alongside her full-time job in electromagnetism at a large company, where she is Milla to all her colleagues. Read about Milla's journey and let yourself be touched.
