Trans Man Breaks Free From Evangelical Cult and Finds Supportive Community.

Andy grew up in an evangelical cult in Florida, wherein women were silenced and men held authority. Never identifying as a girl, Andy nevertheless learned from their religion that it was better to be dead than to be trans. After prayer and dangerous suicidal ideations, Andy eventually mustered the courage to come out to a friend, whose non-chalance and welcoming response taught him that he could find acceptance outside the cult. Realizing his family and church were not a safe space for him, Andy ultimately made the decision to move to New York City, where he was able to live openly and be celebrated for who he is.
