Summary
Concluding our series on Transgender/Intersex issues within Mormonism, we interview London Flynn. London discusses her transition from male to female as a post-Mormon teen, including:
*Her desires and behaviors she wanted to take part in as a child, but was not free to express
*Achieving the Eagle Scout award as a teen, but feeling disconnected from the other boys
*Her fears of “coming out” when she began to study the methods others were subjected to as a way to “correct” gender confusion
*The different milestones in her transition and how her family, friends, and institutional leaders have responded
*Her hope and vision of the future
Thank you London for sharing your beautiful story and for helping all of us understand more the transgender experience within Mormonism!
