Abby Chava Stein was raised in a Hasidic Jewish community in
Brooklyn, profoundly isolated in a culture that lives according to
the laws and practices of an eighteenth-century Eastern European
enclave, speaking only Yiddish and Hebrew and shunning modern life.
Stein was born as the first son in a rabbinical dynastic family,
poised to become a leader of the next generation of Hasidic Jews.
But Stein felt certain at a young age that she was a girl. Without
access to TV or the internet and never taught English, she
suppressed her desire for a new body while looking for answers
wherever she could find them, from forbidden religious texts to
smuggled secular examinations of faith. Finally, she orchestrated a
personal exodus from ultra-Orthodox manhood into mainstream
femininity-a radical choice that forced her to leave her home, her
family and her way of life.
