On my mission (I was LDS) I once asked my mission president how the church dealt with individuals who were born of uncertain gender. He said that such didn't exist. It was a rather bold denial of a reality that would make things awkward for the church's power structure.

First, I am impressed by your courage and truth. I don't know how old you are, but wise beyond your years. I am so grateful that I came across this blog. I just started reading The BOM to answer questions that have been on my mind. I was raised Catholic; converted to Lutheran and consider myself a Christian spiritualist. May I ask what your practices and beliefs are now? I have so many questions!!! Kudos for speaking and telling your truth to help others. =)

excellent video. You did a great job of explaining why the church doesn't embrace transsexuals. I also have a mormon background, so I can relate to this well.

I am a Mormon (this will not be an obnoxious or negative comment on you, so relax) and I do have to admit that your video brings up some fairly disturbing points about Mormon doctrine that I have struggled with for a long time. That being said, my personal testimony of Jesus Christ keeps me in the church, although I do question the stigma that many of its members have towards good people who have had this surgery. I have some issue with your definition of the gender roles in the church, though.

Jesus loves transsexuals the same as anyone else.

Any Transgender person will tell you they don't want to be Transgender that they just want to feel normal. Its not a choice.

Hello Seth Ma' Man
I was an LDS missionary in the Spain, Madrid mission from 1981-1983. I was a Mormon convert of only 1 1/2 years when I was sent out into the mission field at my behest. In truth, I became a Mormon because I was/am Gay and in my young mind, thought that I would no longer have any ' Gay feelings' by becoming a Mormon.....Well let me tell you THAT was a foolish assumption. I don't know what you have gone through as a Transgendgered individual, but I applaud YOU my friend.

Amen to that! Also, 1 in every 2000 babies are actually born intersexed.

I would never go to a Mormom church even if they did accept transgendered people. They, like MOSTchurches, use the bible as a way to discriminate against others.

the more light shed upon sham religions
and corruption cloaked in spiritual sheep's
clothing the better.
peace be with you.
