00:00:00.000 Okay, so I want to move to now. What was that amazing moment where you ended up? What was,
00:00:06.360 what were the dynamics of that amazing moment when you realized, I think I've made the wrong decision?
00:00:12.320 Well, I've been having that thought kind of since I stopped antidepressants, because I
00:00:16.320 wanted to take those problems on by myself. But I just didn't have a trust for counselors or
00:00:24.000 therapists anymore, because a lot of the things they had said to me, or told me to do were just
00:00:28.960 so so wrong on so many levels i just couldn't trust them but after reaching that it's too late
00:00:36.400 point i had kind of just pulled myself together and kept on living as dean which was the name i
00:00:43.840 went by at the time and then i went to church with my parents and our pastor matt i really like that
00:00:50.240 guy um he he uh gave this kind of speech because you know they don't really it's like illegal to
00:00:59.200 talk about these issues in churches now but god comes before the law god's law does and
00:01:06.320 so he spoke up and read through a lot of the things in the bible that talked about transsexuals
00:01:13.600 and where it was like a man shall not wear a woman's clothing or a woman a man's and
00:01:20.000 this act is an abomination and i think that word hit me really hard because you know god's words
00:01:26.160 come down like a sword and i was hit and pierced the heart and i was just i was just panicking and
00:01:34.560 my vision started to go black and i was just sitting there and i think it it really hit me
00:01:38.960 that whether I thought it was too late or not, whether I didn't believe or know it would be
00:01:44.560 possible, I knew I had to try for God because even if I believed it was impossible, nothing
00:01:53.840 is impossible with God. And I went into the back room of the church with my dad because he saw I
00:02:01.760 was panicking and tearing up. And he sat with me and he said, as much as I want to protect you,
00:02:08.640 i can't protect you from god's word and it's up to you what you want to do here but i will
00:02:14.640 be by your side and love you no matter what and then it took me a while to think over it because
00:02:22.960 i was still like i went into a deep dark place and i went back to church the next time and when
00:02:29.280 they had communion i i had this overwhelming i guess feeling of guilt on me and i couldn't walk
00:02:36.080 up. I couldn't get the bread, I couldn't get the wine, I couldn't do it, because for me it was like,
00:02:41.360 as soon as I take that and have my sins washed away, I'm still doing what I'm doing. And even
00:02:47.760 if there was some way you could interpret it differently, if there was a 1% chance that what
00:02:52.000 I was doing was wrong in God's eyes, I could not do it anymore. And with those two things,
00:02:59.280 I don't want to do this anymore. And with the Word of God, I was like, I don't know how I'm
00:03:03.360 I'm going to get back to me, but I'm going to give it my all.
00:03:07.480 That's just absolutely, I'm sitting here and I'm just saying, praise the Lord.
00:03:10.800 You know, the fact that you were raised in a Christian home, you knew God's word, the seeds and the word were planted within you.
00:03:18.140 You wrestled with those, you made decisions, you know, because you became a victim of a crime.
00:03:23.560 And I just encourage you to watch this video of Sarah because her testimony is so powerful.
00:03:32.440 There's so much more that came to keep it all in context of this.
00:03:36.320 Her father comes on after this, and the point was that within her heart, the scripture was
00:03:42.720 there.
00:03:43.580 She remained in a very dark place from the time she was 14, and they indoctrinated her
00:03:49.560 in the school system and convinced her to have the medical surgery, top surgery, to
00:03:55.760 remove her breasts, and then immediately offered her bottom surgery, and she refused that.
00:04:02.220 but she took the top surgery and now that she was one of those ones that was in her 20s and when
00:04:08.560 she went to seek help there was so many people hundreds thousands more like her that were in
00:04:14.760 the same position so this is to prove that the church plays a key role in offering the help
00:04:22.680 because the lgbtq and the government are doing nothing for these trend detransitioners and that's
00:04:28.980 why they're committing suicide. They don't have the love of the church. So I rebuke what the
00:04:33.700 government is saying that scripture is hateful. God has this scripture in place for our best
00:04:38.660 interest to call out sin for what it is. And we can't stop doing that because the very lives of
00:04:44.440 our children are relying on it. Now, this is a group that is very much behind. This is the one
00:04:51.120 that I wanted to show you as to about the church being under attack and that Bill C9 is not the
00:04:57.200 beginning, it is the result of this. And it says exploring experiences of religious-based
00:05:03.080 homophobia and transphobia in places of worship.
