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: "Luna l'altro dieci anni dopo. Itinerario sulla rotta di un cambiamento di sesso" (The Other Moon ten years later. Route of a Gender Change).
'A short itinerary on the route of a sex change, which ended ten years ago on the verge of a definitive change, resumes today to explain that there are new, or perhaps old reasons why that journey has not come to an end. Perhaps because the goal was already reached without having yet understood it.
Today talking about trans has become a recurring phenomenon, we do not know if for real sensitivity to the problems of these people or for creeping morbidity. The fact is that when Sonia and the author found themselves behind a table to build that monologue, in the now distant 1999, the topic was not so obvious and not even easy to deal with and to accept. Listening and updating the story of this journey, after so much water has passed under the bridge, can perhaps help someone, in a very difficult choice that leads to breaking with the previous life, and perhaps someone else, to a greater understanding.'
