Former Trans-Woman: "I Dumped My Dresses, Hair, Makeup to Follow Jesus"

Doug Mainwaring : May 8, 2018  Lifesitenews.com

"One night I was secretly listening to a preacher in my apartment. I called out to the Lord, and asked, 'Will I ever live for You? ... I've seen real people live for You ... not just going to church; They have relationships with You, and they have peace and joy. I had wanted to kill myself. I was spiritually bankrupt; I was destitute." -Jeffrey McCall

(Washington, DC)—[Lifesitenews.com] A band of young courageous ex-gays and ex-transgenders from around the United States converged on the Nation's Capital on the weekend to proclaim in public the freedom they have found by having a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Their message stands in stark opposition to popular LGBT dogma, which until now has dominated national discourse.

The racially diverse group of mostly millennials—formerly sexually active gays and lesbians, as well as others who had lived as 'transgenders' (assuming the identity of a member of the opposite sex)—spoke about their personal conversion to Jesus and the freedom that comes from having a new life in Christ.

The group marched from the Washington Monument grounds toward the Ellipse in front of the White House. The banner that they carried in the public square says it all: "Freedom march." As they carried the banner, they chanted "Jesus delivers."

Some LGBT groups and commentators were quick to dismiss the gathering as being about "conversion therapy." But the young people said that this was not what they were talking about.

Their stories are not based on "reparative therapy," so-called attempts to "pray away the gay," or other efforts to change sexual orientation. They spoke only about conversion to Jesus Christ and embracing the new identity as an adopted child of God that goes along with that.

These men and women who have found Christ accept the reality of their same-sex attractions or transgender impulses. But what makes them different from other same-sex attracted person is that they seek their individual self-worth in Christ, not in their sexual appetites.

They attest that their attractions do not dictate their relationships. Rather than choose the now culturally acceptable and celebrated same-sex relationships, or seeking "affirmation" as a member of the opposite sex, they instead have chosen Jesus Christ, and along the way they have found what they say is genuine freedom.

They have come to know that while they may not have a choice about their sexual attractions or gender dysphoria, they do have a choice about their relationships and how they live their lives.
