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.

Nao Kawamoto - Otoko no musume-tachi

Original title: "Otoko no musume-tachi" 男の娘たち (Man's daughters) by Nao Kawamoto 川本 直.

This book is a non-fiction work called "Man's Daughters" that investigates the scene of cross-dressing culture and gender culture centered on young people. The origin of the publication is Japan's biggest cross-dressing event, attended by cosplay cross-dressing boys, and "closeted" people who live their daily lives as women... Their life histories depict a gradation of diversification and subdivision of the community. It is a fascinating book that required three years of in-depth research.

Nao Kawamoto was born in Tokyo in 1980. His debut novel Julian Butler's True Life (2021) won the 73rd Yomiuri Literature Prize (Best Novel) and the 9th Salmon Children's Literature Prize. His other books include "Men's Daughters" and co-edited "Kenichi Yoshida Again."
