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: "Otokode mo naku on'nade mo naku ― hontō no watashirashi-sa o motomete" 男でもなく女でもなく―本当の私らしさを求めて (Neither a man nor a woman - Seeking true me) by Tsutamori Tatsuru 蔦森 樹.
From a GI cut motorcyclist to a woman who wears a light blue dress handmade by her mother. The author runs through the two genders and reaches the “I” that lies beyond that. This book describes the trajectory of the author who sincerely confronted what “man” is and what is “woman.”
Nowadays, gender crossing is regarded as a problem of the disease called “gender identity disorder,” and it is not regarded as a gender (gender) problem in society. However, the author's vivid light of struggle against gender still illuminates the darkness of the gender dichotomy that has not disappeared.

I'm a man, I'm a woman Everyone just lives the dream given to them to the fullest. As a writer and lecturer, the author who travels back and forth between Tokyo and Okinawa will change your heart from curiosity to excitement by her generous way of life that transcends gender. Her interest shifted from the technical and cultural history of motorcycles to the issues of masculinity and femininity related to gender. In 1990 she published "Men Want to Be Pretty," which became a hot topic in Japan. She is the author of many papers and essays, including "And I Became a Man," and "Neither a Man nor a Woman."
