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.
Full title: "The Day God Died: The Year was 1966 and the Times Declared God Was Dead"
"My childhood beliefs and church life explored as a young child to my present age. I look back to 1966 and the New York Times declared "God is Dead" and the decades it took me to realize the reality of that headline. This book is my view of church from someone who drank the Kool-Aid."
I interviewed Rachel in 2014, and this is what she told me about this book: "This is the third book of my story about my spiritual past and church. This book was a reach back into my past and this time I was able to face some of those ghosts. I allowed myself to travel back in time as a child of the sixties and narrate my experiences as I grew up in a broken but religious family."

Full title: "Things My Mother Should Have Told Me Before I had My Manhood Removed: My Journey from Richard to Rachel"
"Experiences and perspectives on equality from a first hand account. This book answers the question "Are women really treated that much different than men at work, home, and in the bedroom"? This account of my life as a transsexual will take the sheets of this question."
I interviewed Rachel in 2014, and this is what she told me about this book: "Friends have been after me for years to write about my life and experiences that lead up to where I am now. This book is a part of that path.
I started to write many times the story of my childhood and stopped before finishing. The past has a way of haunting me and the memories and feelings resurface when I write. So I had allowed the ghosts of my past to discourage me and I stopped writing it many times over the years.
