begins with the harrowing words, "This past year my 15-year-old niece
decided that she was a boy." From there, the author describes how "the
religious secular state came for my niece" after she attempted suicide.

daughter of a single mother with a rotating door of boyfriends, the
writer's niece suffered bullying at school and watched her mom deal with
