In this deeply moving episode of "The Midlife Revolution," I sit down with Evelyn, a mother whose journey of faith, family, and love has been profoundly altered by her son's transgender identity. Raised in the LDS faith, Evelyn shares her heartfelt reaction to her son coming out as trans and her evolving understanding of love and acceptance in the face of the church's latest transgender policies released in August.

Hear Evelyn's personal story of navigating her faith and family dynamics when her son revealed his true self, leading to her decision to advise him against attending church services.

Explore the science behind the increasing visibility and acknowledgment of transgender individuals in society, providing a factual basis to counter misinformation.

Analyze the new LDS transgender policies from the perspective of a 7th generation Mormon, discussing the implications, the cultural impact, and the potential harm these policies might perpetuate within the church community.

This episode is not just an interview; it's an invitation to understand, empathize, and educate ourselves about transgender experiences, parental support, and the intersection of faith with identity.
