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.

Zoe Foster - Peilissä näin naisen: Zoen tarina

Original title: "Peilissä näin naisen: Zoen tarina" (I saw a woman in the mirror: Zoe's story) by Zoe Foster, Petri Pietiläinen, and Juha Metso.

A woman who was born into the body of a man. Everyone considered him an English boy. She looked at herself in the mirror and dreamed at night - she was a woman. Then she fell in love with a Finnish woman, got married, moved to Finland, and had two children. For a long time, Zoe Foster gathered the courage to transform into the person she really was. She told her wife, "I'm a woman clad in a man's body!" Tears, anxiety, sadness, anger, and divorce followed. Zoe was on the verge of suicide. She paid a heavy price for his honesty.

This story encourages everyone to be happy as human beings without the gendered compulsion to be female or male. Zoe is a proud trans woman. She is more than a woman or a man. Petri Pietiläinen (b. 1966) is an award-winning non-fiction writer from Kotka, whose works include One Regiment, One Hundred Stories - Veterans Tell (Docendo 2017) and Junnu Vainio, Such a Life Is (Docendo 2018). Juha Metso (b. 1965) has been successful as both a newspaper and art photographer. His images have been used in dozens of books.
