Ep 897 | A Detransitioner on the Lie of Trans ‘Joy’ | Guest: Laura Perry Smalts (Part Two)

Today, we’re joined again by detransitioner Laura Perry Smalts, author of " Transgender to Transformed: A Story of Transition That Will Truly Set You Free ," to continue her testimony of how she went from believing she was a man to embracing her womanhood under Christ. Laura shares the timeline of her hormone "treatments," double mastectomy and hysterectomy, and the moment she realized that these surgeries and treatments wouldn't actually make her a man. We discuss the common claim made by "trans" people that they are truly happier after transitioning and the truth that it's often a lie to keep up appearances and convince themselves of the lie. Laura shares her heartbreak at realizing she had lost the opportunity to have children and how God ultimately reached her at her lowest. We talk about the dignity in biblical womanhood, God's love for women, and how these truths led Laura to accept who God made her to be. We also share some advice on how to approach loved ones who think they're trans.
