Episode 106Lance and Tiffany Sweeten (active LDS parents), and Gwen Sweeten (23-year-old transgender daughter)
Lance and Tiffany Sweeten share their journey having their oldest child come out as transgender at age 16, navigating this road (new name, pronouns, seeing her leave the church and find a husband who they love as part of the family). Gwen talks about her gender dysphoria, difficult years and how much better she is emotionally now that she has come out and living her ‘truth.’ Lance and Tiffany share how church attendance increasingly became difficult and how they had one step out the door until a critical conversation with their Bishop where he ‘just listened’.
