The following excerpts are from the testimony “My Journey In and Out of Transexuality Through Christ” by Susan on the PFOX website: … “The road to Wholeness in Christ means a break from the flight from pain. When we receive Christ we are broken vessels. As we continue to grow in Him, He takes these broken pieces and makes an object for His pleasure as He heals the pieces. In order to create the object the pieces have to be moved — they have to submit to the Potter even if it means they go through the fire again. Most importantly they don’t react in the same way they did before. As we desire the Lord to set us free we must realize that whatever coping mechanisms we used for our suffering must be submitted to Christ. Continuous surrender. Wholeness in Christ means to give God the final say. He is the only One who can be our all in all.”

“This began the journey of discovering the lies I believed about myself, lies I believed about others, the damaging effect of labels, inner vows, the importance of understanding inter-cultural practices and communication between generations, the importance of being a team player, that no business is new business (1st Cor. 10:13) – the thought that no one can minister to me because no one has gone through what I went through – is a lie.”

“BE PATIENT – BE WILLING TO CHANGE IN GOD’S TIME – NOT YOURS. I am no longer a transsexual and have no desire to be a man. I am happy as the female I was born to be. Getting out of transgender behavior was a choice I made, and the beginning of an awarding process of life change that I never imagined would be so wonderful.”
