LaRell Herbert's memoir offers a profound and personal insight into his unique journey through gender identity. Living as a woman for six years and undergoing gender reassignment surgery, he believed these radical changes were essential for his happiness.

Raised in the Mormon faith, LaRell's life unfolds from a conventional marriage to his decision to transition, and finally, to his courageous choice to detransition and live again as a man. This book delves into the complex realities of gender dysphoria, challenging the conventional narrative that surgery and hormonal treatments are infallible solutions.

LaRell’s story is a testament to a lesser-discussed outcome: individuals who transition and still face unresolved psychological issues, leading them to reconsider the permanence of their decisions. This book does not seek to undermine or invalidate the transgender experience but aims to illuminate the profound implications of assuming that changing one’s sex is a panacea.

Through his narrative, LaRell advocates for a deeper understanding of self-love and acceptance, emphasizing that true happiness comes from embracing oneself as originally created. This memoir is an invitation to readers to explore a different perspective on gender identity—one that considers the root causes of dysphoria and promotes a dialogue about the life-altering impacts of gender transition.

It is a call to reflect on the lasting consequences of altering one's body and identity based on beliefs that may evolve. .
