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: "Il prezzo di essere" (The Price of Being) by Rossella Bianchi.
Rossella Bianchi, one of the first and historic Italian transsexuals, tells her story in this raw and realistic autobiography, not without renouncing the irony that distinguishes her.
As with her previous books, she also dedicates this to Don Andrea Gallo who, as she herself says, "tiptoeing into my life, instead of trying to change myself, helped me realize my dreams." Her hope is that this book will reach parents above all, to bring them the message of those who have no voice: "Love and help your children for who they are and not for what you wanted them to be."

Original title: "In via del Campo nascono i fiori" (Flowers are born in via del Campo) by Rossella Bianchi.
Many say that selling your body is the most humiliating thing, but when you have known the drama of not being accepted by your family, by society, the frustration of being refused a job to which you would be entitled, persecution and hunger, prostitution is a way out. If not mandatory, at least the most painless.
When you are no longer hungry and you can buy what you like, you realize that you don't give a damn about those who do not give you a job, those who do not accept you, those who mock you, because you invented work and you certainly recover a little dignity.
