In 1997, Dylan Scholinski published the memoir, The Last Time I Wore a Dress, which chronicled their time as a teenager being institutionalized and diagnosed with "Gender Identity Disorder." Scholinski, who is non-binary, writes about the treatment they endured while trying to be "cured" of their feelings about their gender. Now, the memoir has been re-released and updated with a new epilogue. Scholinski joins us to discuss the book, and their views on how trans issues and gender issues played a role in the 2024 election.
