The Trauma Cleaner book has changed my heart already about transgender people and how deeply misunderstood they are and just reading the foreword and introduction to your book has touched me deeply as well. I remember maybe 25 years ago I had a transexual person come to our homegroup and I tried to talk him out of the operation. I was unsuccessful and I never saw him again but maybe it worked out for her eventually. I am sorry for my likely misunderstanding of what was happening for him then. I’m only halfway through your book but I hope someone has apologised to you on behalf of the church for all the pain we have caused you Laurie. If not I apologise to you right now. Your courage to write about it all is amazing.
Something I’ll take with me from your book is the idea that just because a particular church or congregation doesn’t fit a person’s needs doesn’t mean there isn’t a church out there that will.
Just finished the audio book. Very much enjoyed the story and as a conservative Christian trans girl I really appreciate you pouring out your soul as you let everyone know that the anti-god liberal is not the only trans voice out there. I have been a Christian for 43 years and God has not condemned me once. Bless you.
