I Was an Abomination: A Story of Trans Survival in Conservative America - Paperback

by Sheryl Weikal (Author)

For years, public figures from J.K. Rowling to Elon Musk have argued that there's no such thing as a trans child, and trans kids are always influenced by adults. Sheryl Weikal is living proof that they're wrong. Despite being homeschooled by conservative parents, Sheryl knew she was a girl from early childhood, even making a doll of herself to show her parents at eight years old.

In her memoir, Sheryl tells the story of growing up trans in a conservative homeschooling family, surviving conversion therapy, fighting the state for the right to be a lawyer, and finally meeting the love of her life and realizing her dream of being the woman she really always was.
