Andrews, Arin. Some Assembly Required: The Not-So-Secret Life of a Transgender Teen. New York, United States, Simon & Schuster, 2014
In this revolutionary memoir, seventeen-year-old Arin details the journey that led him to make the life-transforming decision to undergo gender reassignment as a high school junior. Arin reveals the challenges he faced as a girl, the humiliation and anger he felt after getting kicked out of his private school, and all the changes—both mental and physical—he experienced once his transition began. Arin also writes about the thrill of meeting and dating a young transgender woman named Katie Rain Hill—and the heartache that followed after they broke up. Some Assembly Required is a true coming-of-age story about knocking down obstacles and embracing family, friendship, and first love. But more than that, it is a reminder that self-acceptance does not come ready-made with a manual and spare parts. Rather, some assembly is always required.

Kobabe, Maia. Gender Queer: A Memoir. Amsterdam, Netherlands, Amsterdam University Press, 2019
This intensely cathartic autobiography of Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, charting eir journey of self-identity, a journey which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity--what it means and how to think about it.
