Sheila Grace

Sheila Grace was born and raised in Texas, graduated from West Point, earned her Ranger tab, and served four years as a paratrooper. She went on to earn her medical degree at the University of Texas Medical Branch and practiced as a physician for many years. In her memoir, A Calling from the Bones, she tells the story of her gender identity and her journey to living openly as herself after decades of hiding behind the uniforms she wore. Today she takes part in research on transgender health, volunteers at a gender clinic, speaks about her own journey, and continues to write.
