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.

Giò Stajano and Willy Vaira - Pubblici scandali e private virtù

Full title: "Pubblici scandali e private virtù. Dalla Dolce Vita al convento. Dialogo con Willy Vaira" (Public scandals and private virtues. From Dolce Vita to the convent. Dialogue with Willy Vaira). The book was published in 2007 and 2021.

Giò Stajano (1931-2011) was the most famous transgender woman in Italy, first publicly declared as gay, then a reserved lady dedicated to painting who, at an aperitif time, never gave up her Martini Dry. 

She was famous for scandals. Her aspiration was success and not rebellion, and her motivation was personal and not political. But certainly, scandals contributed greatly to the birth of the LGBT movement in Italy.
