Action4Canada - Detransition to Freedom

Sarah was raised in a Christian home where she was indoctrinated at a young age to believe she was born a woman. At the age of 14, she was introduced to the world as a transgender woman. She grew up in a religious, Christian home and was raised to believe that God's Word was a holy and loving word. However, as she grew older, she began to question her faith and her relationship with God. In order to heal, she had to leave her religious upbringing and go through the process of coming out to her family and finding her true identity.

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 0.94

00:03:55.760 remove her breasts, and then immediately offered her bottom surgery, and she refused that. 1.00

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 0.99

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 1.00

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.
