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

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 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 a lie. Laura shares her heartbreak of 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 and 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.

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

I wish I could sit down with her and my daughter who is planning on transitioning at 18. That's only a few months away and I'm still praying for a miracle, that she'll wake up.

[theologygeekgal]

Thanks for this! I did not go through physical transition because it was not even a thing in the 80's, so I thought I would HAVE to be a girl- though I hated it for so long and was so uncomfortable, as she spoke of, not knowing how to be a girl, much less a woman! I also was close to my Dad, and very angry at my mom. But again, through the transforming love of Jesus, I not only married a man, but had two girls- who are quite feminine (despite my insecurities in that area) and am now, SOOO HAPPY and daily embrace being a woman! Jesus is real! He changes hearts and minds. He will start tenderly with us with whatever limitations we have, but doesn't leave us there!

[katielove]

Please pray for my daughter too, she will be 19 in a few weeks and as soon as she turned 18 she began transitioning and taking testosterone. Please pray that God protects her and shields her from any permanent harm and that she can love and accept her true self. ❤

I love this woman’s story. I have three kids. My 24-year-old daughter is “non-binary”, my 25-year-old son is very intolerant of this whole movement/thing, and a 21-year-old daughter that is very supportive of her “sibling” that identifies as non-binary.
I refuse to go along with the lie and won’t call my daughter by her preferred name or her preferred pronouns. I refuse to lie to her which is what I would be doing by going along with all of this. It’s one of the hardest things that I have ever had to go through as a parent. I’m praying to God that she will just grow out of this whole thing and realize who she really is and accept that. This woman’s story is so encouraging! I love my 24-year-old daughter more than anything, but I cannot support this lie.

[stetson_maven]

Love her story, and as a 60 yr old man, the struggle to love God and run from sin continues. Tho the devil pursues us, God is greater still.

[kmsongbird]

6500 biological differences between men and women! Wow. I'm so happy to hear Laura's story. What a testimony of God's great grace and mercy!

[judykennedy]

I feel for families and children going thru this. It shows how far from God our country is. It would be wonderful if Laura was allowed to speak at schools but God is kept out of schools too. Great testimony Laura. Thank you for sharing.

[rafaelajose]

Laura is so wise. God has given her so much wisdom. I can hear her all day talk about God. Glory to God.

[AaronDavidMatthew]

My son doesn't look happy. He looks sad. This is giving me so much hope!

[susiet]

Laura’s story is so encouraging. It blessed me immensely. Lord, thank You for using Laura to reach others.

[lemarge]

What a TESTIMONY!!! I had goosebumps when she said she had just gotten married !!!

[gutz]

My brother has a daughter who is transitioning and he used that same analogy about his daughter dying. I pray for my niece Gabriella constantly.

[Stacydsullivan]

This woman is so inspiring. Her forgiveness for her mom, and as a woman who struggles with my issues of just anger towards my parents for the things they did and my issues. It really touched me. I wish her the best

[debrasusan]

What an amazing episode of hope and restoration and redemption. God is just amazing.

[natashamiller]

My sister and I were both serious tomboys and she and I both agree that had we been born today, we would have been convinced we were transgender and we are both so grateful we were both raised in the 80’s…we are both straight females and are mothers.

[rachelyhong]

So encouraging to hear about how God has been working in her life ❤️ praise the Lord!

[karenjohnson]

Wow, what a testimony Laura...thank you for sharing. As a mom to a ftm (began at 18 & now is nearly 24) your testimony is what I've been claiming for my own daughter! I know that the Lord gives beauty for ashes...I'm claiming that in my child's life, and for others. He can restore...He IS restoring what the enemy has stolen. The victory is Mine, saith the Lord. Glory be to God!!

[caseysolomon]

I’m in tears what a beautiful testimony! Praise God!!! ❤Wow!

[tierney]

This interview helped me in ways I didn’t expect it to. Some of what Laura shared in this interview about childhood relationship complexities and exposures connected a lot of dots for me. Thanks for what you do, Laura!

[wearyandheavyladen]

what a POWERFUL and BEAUTIFUL testimony of what God can do!!! i can personally testify to what Laura said. i’m not a detransitioner or even LGBTQ, but i went thru my own struggles with my identity and my own sin.
what the power of knowing our identity in Christ can do and what He does in us when we just believe He is who he says he is.. once we trust Him, He has NO LIMITS. words can’t even describe what He can do in a persons life.
