Well Samantha, let's go ahead and thank you for waiting.

I wondered, I thought that maybe these other things were kind of foundational, but let's

jump right into a discussion about probably the most significant aspect of change to this

new handbook of instruction, which is further light knowledge or further dark and confusion.

Take your pick on transgender Mormons, so please give us your reactions and thoughts.

Like you said, this is the biggest change that we've really seen so far.

If you don't mind, John, I did do a pretty in-depth analysis.

I'll post a link to that in the comments.

Because we just simply aren't going to be able to cover even in most of it right now.

So I'm going to have to kind of step out of the weeds a little bit here and look at it

from 30,000 feet.

It's really had a lot of mixed reactions.

Especially from the cisgender members of organizations like affirmation, especially

North Star, sorry I'm throwing you under the bus, but it's very well accepted.
