Transitioning from female to male as a post-Mormon teen - Alex Autry | Ep. 740

In this episode of Mormon Stories, we continue our series on Transgender/Intersex education within Mormonism by interviewing Alex Autry. Alex discusses his transition from female to male as a post-Mormon teen, including:

*His early feelings and experiences with gender as a child

*His upbringing in the LDS Church and feelings of disconnection while involved in Young Women’s activities

*The constant desire to receive the Priesthood along with all the other boys

*How his strong and orthodox testimony served as a barrier to confronting his gender identity

*The feelings of relief when his family and schoolmates accepted his identity

*Leaving the LDS Church along with his family

*His beliefs now and his vision for the future

We are grateful to Alex for sharing his unique story and for shining a light on the transgender experience within the Mormon context!
