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: "Mein bunter Schatten: Lebensweg einer Transgender-Frau" (My colorful shadow: the life journey of a transgender woman) by Pari Roehi.
Pari is born in a boy's body. From an early age, she senses that she is different. After fleeing Iran to the Netherlands, she grew up in refugee homes, not only had to find her way in the new culture but also had to deal with a body that was alien to her.
She constantly tests boundaries, offends, and is in search of identity. She never wants to live as a man, she knows that. But the road to womanhood is long and difficult. Pari goes it – and arrives: self-determined, happy, and whole.
