 The Ancient Egypt Site - Turin Kinglist
The beginning and ending of the list are now lost, which means that we are missing both the introduction of the list -if ever there was such an introduction- and the enumeration of the kings following the 17th Dynasty.
The fact that the list was scribbled on the back of an older papyrus has been seen by some as an indication that it was of no great importance to the writer.
Such lists had a more cultic and political reason for being, for indeed they confirmed that the current king was the rightful heir of the kings that had ruled Egypt for many centuries.

 Hatshepsut - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
Pharaoh was an exclusively male title; at this point in Egyptian history there was no word for a female ruler (the closest equivalent, which was used by Sobeknefru, was King's Wife), thus Queen Hatshepsut became King Hatshepsut.
As Pharaoh, Hatshepsut initiated building projects that were grander and more numerous than any of her New Kingdom predecessors.
Replacing the names on older monuments with one's own was a common practice of Egyptian Pharaohs, but in some cases it was an act of damnatio memoriae -- condemning a person by erasing him or her from recorded existence.

 Women in Egypt: Menkaure and His Queen: 3. The Queen's Husband
The children of the pharaoh and his wives, and the children of heiress-queen and her consort-king, would all refer to the pharaoh as "father" and the heiress-queen as "mother." Evidence of this is the way that the pharaoh is always the "son" of his predecessor, even though there may be no physical link.
The roles of the male pharaoh and the female queen were interpreted as one element in a system of complementary dualities.
Occasionally, however, she would "marry" and establish as the new pharaoh a man from outside the royal family, which brought about the founding of a new dynasty and introduced new blood into the royal bloodline.

Chronicle of the Pharaohs: The Reign-by-reign Records of the Rulers and Dynasties of Ancient Egypt (Chronicles) by Peter A. Clayton
This Chronicle of the Pharaohs is a good introductory book for those who would like to have a map of the different Aegyptian dinasties and their pharaohs.
The book sets up a good list of pharaohs and dinasties, but it lacks references to some of the most recent theories about the actual order of the pharaohs and some potential 'missing' ones.

Uncovered in the tomb of Pharaoh Seti I, and now preserved in the British Museum, it appears to be an accurate record of human rulers back to the first man, Adam.

There is evidence, though, of Hatshepsut dressing as a man: "Although [statues of her] show her in all the trappings of a Pharaoh, such as she assumed on the death of her husband Thutmose II, full justice is done to her feminine figure and appearance...
She was actually the first of the female Pharaohs to dress as a man (Gardiner 183).
Whether or not Hatshepsut had the right to hold the kingship, she "needed to stress her legitimacy as King, not queen, of Egypt" (Quirke 14), to "[provide] fuel for [her] emerging divine persona through the oracular stories publicized on temple walls and no doubt informally spread through oral means" (Bryan 351).
