The Last Time I Wore A Dress
by Daphne Scholinski with Jane Meredith AdamsAt age 14, Daphne was a member of the Disciples, had been raped numerous times, had gender issues, was drinking and on drugs, and suffered abuse at home. Her parents had her admitted to the psychiatric hospital at Michael Reese, in Chicago. Daphne stayed in various mental hospitals, receiving sham treatments from idiotic doctors. Daphne tried hardest to conceal her gender issues, and at first she was successful. She was treated for behavioral disorder, and then for drug abuse. But in the end, she was stuck with doctors trying to fix her gender disorder. She was forced to wear makeup, learn to walk like a woman, and pretend to have romantic interest in boys. This is her story of growing up in mental institutions. Daphne is a sympathetic protagonist; the reader will be able to relate to her.
Happy reading.
