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.

Phenix Kühnert - Eine Frau ist eine Frau ist eine Frau

Original title: "Eine Frau ist eine Frau ist eine Frau: über trans Sein und mein Leben" (A woman is a woman is a woman: about being trans and my life).

"Phenix Kühnert wants more. More rights, more votes, more inclusivity. Social constructs? Divisions into "normal" and "different"? Let's throw it overboard. That's what Phenix fights for. Every day. She looks back to her childhood, reinterprets memories, writes about pain and acceptance. With it, we are allowed to sit in doctors' waiting rooms, open a passport that does not correspond to our gender, feel a hint of what this can trigger.

We are there when Phenix takes hormones for the first time, when her body begins to change, understand what shaving her legs has to do with emancipation. We accompany her through highs and lows, in sports changing rooms or on dates in Berlin.
