In this episode of Mormon Stories, we continue our series on Transgender/Intersex education within Mormonism by interviewing Alex Autry. Alex discusses his transition from female to male as a post-Mormon teen, including:

His early feelings and experiences with gender as a child

His upbringing in the LDS Church and feelings of disconnection while involved in Young Women’s activities

The constant desire to receive the Priesthood along with all the other boys

How his strong and orthodox testimony served as a barrier to confronting his gender identity

The feelings of relief when his family and schoolmates accepted his identity

Leaving the LDS Church along with his family

His beliefs now and his vision for the future

We are grateful to Alex for sharing his unique story and for shining a light on the transgender experience within the Mormon context!
