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: "Paul: eine besondere Frau" (Paul: a special woman) by Brigitte Schneebeli.
Paul Jecklin, born in 1957, grew up partly with a foster family and partly in the Chur orphanage. The guardianship authorities took him away from his parents when he was a small child, as did all his five siblings.
Two things made life even more difficult for the delicate, blond boy. He developed more slowly than other children and... he would rather have been a girl. For both he was laughed at and ridiculed. As a teenager, he spent several years in a home for the 'difficult' youth. Not because he had done anything wrong, but because people wanted to be rid of him.
