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: "Casa Susanna: L’histoire du premier réseau transgenre américain 1959-1968" (Casa Susanna: The Story of America's First Transgender Network 1959-1968) by Isabelle Bonnet, Sophie Hackett, and Susan Stryker.
"In 2004, 340 photographs, dating from the early 1960s, were found at the New York flea market. These amateur snapshots reveal a vast clandestine network of transvestites between the United States and Canada. They belonged to the famous Susanna, who regularly hosted transvestite friends at her property in Catskill (NY). Essential to their practice of transvestism, photography is preciously preserved by its followers as proof of their "inner daughter". These photographs testify today to the existence and aesthetics of a pioneering network in American transgender history."

Original title: "Historia de lo trans" (History of Trans) is the Spanish language edition of "Transgender History" by Susan Stryker.
When and how is the term transsexual created? Who has fought in the North American context when it comes to obtaining rights for people who leave gender norms, are transvestites, transsexuals, or non-binary? How is the memory of trans people made?, What leaders promoted other ways of understanding gender transgressions? What social challenges arise thanks to the experiences of trans people and their activism?
Historia de lo trans presents, through a critical and decolonial vision, the key moments of a political and cultural movement that has questioned the bases of feminism and the conceptual frameworks of LGBT struggles. In this tour, we find exciting biographies of the protagonists of trans struggles, inserted in the history of gender theory, and the book shows how they have been shaping our global story.
