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.

He came to have his own revue, theater company, and sang, although the word showman falls short... The book is a little bit more mainstream. It is dedicated to Pedro Almodóvar and gives a review of a series of idols that, in many cases, were the transgender women of the past: from Lola Flores, Estrellita Castro, Marifé de Triana to Concha Velasco, Esperanza Roy, Paloma San Basilio, Bárbara Rey, etc. The book is a Who is Who of the domestic divas of the glorious past.
