Transgender in Seminary

I was taught as a young person that like the person leading your church, they know it, they have all the answers. And so how to become that person? Well, you go to seminary. So I ended up going to Luther seminary about a year after I graduated from college and tried to sort of start unraveling this stuff or unraveling this faith. It was during my time in seminary that I started coming out as transgender because it just seemed like something that I couldn't really ignore anymore if I wanted to be real in these communities.
