by Dylan Scholinski (Author)

UPDATED WITH A NEW EPILOGUE

At fifteen years old, Daphne Scholinski was committed to a mental institution and awarded the dubious diagnosis of Gender Identity Disorder. For three years and more than a million dollars of insurance, the problem was "treated"--with makeup lessons and instructions in how to walk like a girl.

With a new epilogue by Scholinski, whose name is now Dylan and who identifies as nonbinary, this revised paperback edition of The Last Time I Wore a Dress looks back at those experiences and their life since. It chronicles the journey of coming into oneself and gaining a nuanced, freeing understanding of being born transgender. This memoir tells Dylan Scholinski's remarkable story in an honest, unforgettable voice that's both heartbreaking and hopeful.
