"Attorney and human rights advocate Sheryl Weikal delivers a powerful and deeply personal exploration of justice, identity, and the fight for universal human rights. With the insight of a seasoned lawyer and the heart of a relentless advocate, Weikal weaves together legal analysis, lived experience, and urgent calls for systemic change. Weikal's work challenges institutions, uplifts marginalized voices, and reminds us that the pursuit of equality is not just a legal battle, but a moral imperative. A must-read for anyone committed to building a more just and compassionate world."

"Sheryl Weikal's I WAS AN ABOMINATION is both a warning and a balm. In recounting her own journey from unsupported trans child to loved and valued trans adult, Sheryl's story can teach us lessons for the world we live in today-if only we are smart enough to learn from it. Through her clear-eyed prose and hard-won vulnerability, Sheryl's words will resonate far beyond the pages of this book."
