When I was Mormon and getting ready to be baptized (age 7) my bestie MaryAnn & I decided we needed to get all our swears out so we couldn't get in trouble after baptism. We didn't want to go to hell for it, so we took to swearing all the time when we hung out.

Well, that's it. I've lost my son. My youngest son just went from one cult to another, and I am never getting him back. I'm gonna go spend time crying right now. Goodnight.

I hate to break it to you Mormons, but I'm not lying when I share my stories of growing up in the church. You weren't there. You don't know. I'm not saying the Mormon church teaches these church-wide, I'm talking about MY PERSONAL lived experiences for the 40 yrs. I was a member.

I grew up without a dad. He died when I was 7. When I was Mormon we would sing "Families Can Be Together Forever". It reminded me that my dad was on the other side of the veil waiting for me. When I was a senior in HS I wrote a paper about a little girl who missed her dad, and

When I was Mormon I was taught that if I wore clothes that didn't cover the garment (cap sleeves and knee length panties) I was walking pornography. I was sinning and tempting others to sin if I showed my bare shoulders or legs above the knee cap. You're telling me Mormon men

When I was Mormon I was taught that a wife and mother was my most important, most high calling. If I HAD to go to college, get a degree that would support my family if anything happened to Spouseman. Teaching. Nursing. Acceptable female careers. My wants and needs didn't matter,

When I was Mormon we couldn't have the missionaries over for dinner when I was a kid. My mom was a widow and with no priesthood in the home, it would have been inappropriate. It was only when my little brother turned 12 & was ordained a deacon that they were allowed at our house.

When we moved to Utah five years ago, we went as a family to general conference and there was a trans woman outside with a sign saying “Hug a trans Mormon.” I gave her a hug and that’s when the ice began to crack and my fear and prejudice began to slowly melt away. It changed me.

When I was Mormon, I was taught that even a little bit of sin ruined whatever goodness there is in something. Like this roach ice cream. The church was really great until I found the roach. Then it was ruined for me.

The amount of men dressing as women to assault you in the ladies room will be the same as after passing this bill. It will not stop bad people from doing bad things, but it will put trans folks in the path of danger and even death. Is that really what you want?

The criminal adult trans bathroom ban has passed the Utah house 52-17. This is a terrifying day for trans people in Utah and anyone who has to travel through it. It now goes to the Senate.

My opinion doesn't matter, but as a former Mormon I am generally happy for them when progress is made to include more of God's children. What I don't like is being lied to & gaslit by current members who weren't even alive 40 yrs ago try to say it was never taught, or that it was

A trans woman is a woman. If you're not down w/that, we can have a conversation or we can part ways. I'm hoping for the conversation, b/c trans women's lives depend on it. I'm not looking for a fight, I'm looking for an exchange to create understanding. #TransWomenAreWomen

When I was Mormon, in Utah, girls who were about to get married would go to the gynie to get a premarital exam. This is where they check your undercarriage to see if you need to be "stretched to fit" with dilators (sterile dildos) for your wedding night. It's because Mormon women
