From losing his father at a young age to emigrating to America- never feeling "normal" and rather believed he was born in the wrong body and of the wrong gender.

He had money, friends, and a lot of positive attention, but he was still in a very dark place. At rock bottom, he called out to God and asked to be saved... And he WAS! His process of detransitioning was difficult but he knew it was to get him back to who he was meant to be. Now he is getting tremendous hate and criticism from BOTH the Trans community & many Christian conservatives. Listen to this incredible story that is still unfolding at the time of recording.
