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: "Délires" (Delusions) by Amanda Lear.
'An eclectic artist, Amanda Lear readily accepts the term jack-of-all-trades, but when asked to define herself in one word, she answers "star". A virtuoso of repartee and self-mockery, she was in turn the muse of Salvador Dalí, David Bowie's lover, disco diva, and queen of boulevard theatre.
Despite a shy and self-conscious childhood, her enthusiasm and curiosity allowed her to shape the funny, elegant and mysterious character that everyone knows. This is a sparkling anthology that brings together reflections and memories, under the sharp pen of a fine observer.'

Original title: "Eine Frau und mehr" (A woman and more) by Romy Haag.
A life like a dream: The little boy from the Dutch provinces is making a career in the world's metropolises – as a woman. The shy Edouard Frans becomes Romy Haag, the star. At thirteen she stripped on the Reeperbahn, at sixteen she sang in the Paris nightclub »Alcazar«.
After stops on stages all over Europe and in New York, the dazzling show star found a home in Berlin in the seventies. Her legendary nightclub »Chez Romy Haag« became an in-meeting place for pop stars such as David Bowie, Freddy Mercury, Mick Jagger and Udo Lindenberg.
Original title: "Je ne suis pas tout celle que vous croyez..." (I'm not all you think...)
'Be careful, this is not a trivial biography. I'm blonde. But unlike blondes, reputed assholes, I am an insolent, provocative, disturbing girl. I don't have my tongue in my pocket, I have a sense of repartee and outspokenness.
I am also a glamorous woman, the muse of some, the muse of others, the muse of rock stars, and a great painter. Antimemoirs (not that I take myself for Malraux!) rather than a story of my trajectory, these pages have no other ambition than to entertain you. For the rest, you will read between the lines.'
