Scholinski is involved in many projects that will continue to positively impact the trans and non-trans communities. He has also established the Sent(a)Mental Project: A Memorial to GLBTIQA Suicides, a collection of creative works about, by, or for individuals or groups affected by suicide. But the reality is that, while the forced gender therapy that Daphne Scholinski struggled under was unsuccessful in changing her gender identity, the person then called Daphne was successful in surviving the experience and eventually establishing an authentic life.ĭylan Scholinski now lives in Denver, where he creates and exhibits amazing art - much of it based on his hospital experiences. Some might say that she was unsuccessful. The Last Time I Wore a Dress by Daphne Scholinski chronicles Scholinski’s adolescence, which was spent in mental institutions in an unsuccessful and damaging attempt by those in authority to make Scholinski into the girl they thought she should be.įorced to wear makeup, style her hair, and wear female clothing, Scholinski made every attempt to fight her true nature. With “ Make-over Camp ” in the news, causing people to take a renewed interest in traditional gender roles, I think it’s appropriate to take a renewed interest in a 1997 book that’s as timely today as it was over a decade ago.
