As far as fiction goes, the best I have read is "Nevada" by Imogen Binnie. This is one of those books that I immediately started reading again as soon as I finished it the first time.

https://www.amazon.com/Nevada-Imogen-Binnie/dp/0983242232/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466321271&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=Nevada+imogene+binnie

Another work of fiction that is not about the transgender experience but does touch on some themes that you may be able to relate to is "Middlesex" by Jeffery Eugenides. It is really well done and has several interesting story arcs that intersect in really interesting ways with the protagonist.

https://www.amazon.com/Middlesex-Novel-Oprahs-Book-Club/dp/0312427735/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466321681&sr=8-1&keywords=Middlesex

As far as bios go I really liked Janet Mock's "Redefining Realness" and "She Not There" by Jennifer Finney Boylan.

https://www.amazon.com/Redefining-Realness-Path-Womanhood-Identity/dp/1476709130/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466321501&sr=8-1&keywords=redefining+realness

Edit: My auto correct want Boylan to be be Moylan.

MtF here-- I'm not all trans views nor am I the only trans-feminist view.

First of all, it doesn't necessarily make you a TERF. TERFs generally hate trans folk, at least in my experience. Being uncomfortable and hating aren't the same.

​

Second, while I don't know about that book (and it sounds like they have a deep misunderstanding of gender identity,) I do believe that Yaviv is just a sick individual who is using the trans movement for his or her or whatever the pronoun is's own fetishes. Yaviv does not represent all trans people, just as Martin Shkreli doesn't represent all white people.

​

Third, regarding children transitioning, I want to ask you a favor. At your local library, browse through the online catalog and try to find the transgender section. There should be a variety of books on what being trans is, what the LGBTQ trends are, etc-- but I want you to specifically find the memoirs. I don't remember many names, but I remember this one: https://www.amazon.com/Redefining-Realness-Path-Womanhood-Identity/dp/1476709130

It discusses being transgender as a child the way she experienced it. I could tell you my experiences as a child-- and I didn't even know the word transgender until I was a sophomore in high school and my friend wanted to beat down a transgender freshmen and I learned about the concept of being trans. I acknowledge that transgender minors are a touchy topic, but I think that if you read about how many of us know from a young age that we are trans, then that'll help. Even so, you can support one part of the community without supporting another. It's like listening to a politician: You can totally support (Using this so I don't flare up tensions) Abraham Lincoln on his view of slaves without supporting his economic views and still overall support the Lincoln presidency.

Sure, susans.org is a huge forum with allies and partners and trans people of all stripes.

This website is part of the Silvia Rivera project who is a rather well known leader in the community, since Stonewall, who died of cancer.

There’s tons of trans vloggers you can go to. Most but not all have a 101 video, and/or talk about their experiences being trans. Here’s a list:

Or buy it in Germany two months earlier: amazon.de

Seems to need some time over the channel. ;)

The book that catalyzed my gender questioning and discovery was My Gender Workbook , which it seems now has an updated sequel .

Another very good trans memoir is Janet Mock's
