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: "Bernard devient Natacha: Scénario pour un producteur!" (Bernard becomes Natacha: Scenario for a director!) by Natacha Jambon.
Are you a film producer or a film director? The book Bernard becomes Natacha should catch your attention. You have opened the book and your curiosity forces you to turn the pages, to read the genre, the theme, the pitch, the synopsis, the note of intent, and finally the story and the dialogues. You can imagine that I could not put the whole of this story for everyone to see. I only put fifteen scenes, and the script has one hundred and forty-nine pages.

Original title: "Je suis enfin une femme: Mon combat d'une vie" (I'm Finally A Woman: My Lifetime Struggle) by Natacha Jambon.
Born as a boy in a small village in Vaucluse, she grew up in a neighboring department. At four years old, she would turn out to be a disturbed child. A banal event would reveal her true nature: from the age of seven, she discovers her femininity.
She is going to dress as a girl for the first time and will enjoy it. Over the years, she advances in her pleasure of being “her”. Her parents do not take the matter seriously and even oppose her choice. When she comes of age, she swaps her male first name for that of Natacha.
It's not just a formality because she knows that the great fight of her life is about to begin: rejection by the family, failed marriage, mockery from her work colleagues, discrimination, and then dismissal. Natacha does not sink, clinging to her only reason for living: to begin the slow and difficult process of transition, she will go as far as the change of sex and her change of marital status which will finally lead her to become "a woman".

Original title: "Prisonnière d'un corps qui ne sera pas le mien" (Prisoner of a body that won't be mine) by Natacha Jambon.
Was I born in Love or by accident? Halfway through my life, I stumble over this issue. Mom was Love and Protection; Dad wasn't loving. I was trapped in a body that was not mine. I felt like a girl's soul from the age of 7. My family understood who I was through the discovery of women's clothing. My parents, shirking their responsibilities or out of shame, did not take any steps to help me get better, including a psychiatrist for transgender people. Mom left me to go to Heaven. No longer having her love or protection, Dad took the opportunity to humiliate me further. In adulthood, during my transition, I experienced discrimination from my co-workers and employers.
