I listed a few just last week on a reply to someone's question, here's the list:
Unfortunately, I've moved fairly recently and my library is somewhat fractured, so I don't have all of my books handy at the moment. I see that Kate Bornstein's books have been mentioned, she's a fun author. There's also Miss Vera's Crossdress For Success which is not exactly about gender (also a little brusque at times), but more about achieving desired gender presentation.
Have you ever read Changing Ones? Although it's specific to Native American cultures, I think it's reasonable to assume it was not uncommon in other pre-Christian cultures as well.
People transitioned socially even though there was no way to transition medically. In some cultures they held a special place - a third gender - and in others they took on the roles and social status of the gender not assigned at birth. It's a great read for anyone interested in anthropology or archaeology, or just trans history.
