YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A Methodist pastor from Rochester, New York, shocked her congregation after publicly announcing she is a transgender woman during a Sunday service. Pastor Phil Phaneuf — now transitioning and adopting new pronouns — said her parents “do not support” her decision. The moment, captured on video, comes as she urges her church to embrace a “season of creative transformation.”
