Leslie has been a wonderful friend in my life a mentor somebody who has

spoken into my life with wisdom compassion truth and zeal if you have watched any of the resources from the Center for Face Sexual and

Gender, you have probably already met Leslie. Leslie experiences gender

dysphoria. They have identified as transgender as

non-binary gender queer. Leslie will explain what they mean by that and so

without further ado I want you to get to know my very good friend, my dear friend,

from a distance, the one and only Leslie Hudson Reynolds. So, Okay, welcome back to another episode of theology in the raw. As you just heard I am here

with my very good friend Leslie.

Leslie thanks so much for being on theology and raw for the second time.

It's been a couple of years at least, two or three years.

But so most of my odd, well probably a good percentage of my audience hasn't heard you ever or at least not in a while.

I will say just before I throw it to you, I've had so many people respond positive, I mean just respond in such amazing ways to that

series I did on, I think it was called like, meet my LGBT friends, whatever it was like you and

Greg Coals and Naid and others and a lot of people

started listening to this podcast because of that series and they really appreciate it.

So there's going to be some people at least that are like, oh we get to hear about Leslie again.

So anyway, who is who is Leslie

so I grew up in the church you know like was it 83% of the LGBT community.

Grew up in the church and from the like the earliest of my memories

I like I always felt like I was a boy. My first crush, this is going to date how exactly how old I am, but my first crush was Linda Carter as Wonder Woman, you know, like back in the late 70s, early 80s.
