The Last Time I Wore a Dress

By: Dylan Scholinski, Jane Meredith Adams

Narrated by: Dylan Scholinski

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.

* This audiobook edition includes a donwloadable PDF with the Appendix, Resource List, and images from the book.

Super relatable and beautifully told

A gorgeous coming of age story. Dylan portrays such recognizable and human characters in his reflections of the mental "health care" system. Read it!
