(LifeSiteNews) — A woman who once identified as a transgender man recently read a children’s book based on the Biblical teaching of gender to a crowd of 500, greatly outnumbering a small group of LGBT activists seeking to ruin the event.
Laura Perry Smalts, who took cross-sex hormones and underwent a double mastectomy during an eight-year struggle with her identity, returned to her Christian faith and began sharing her story in 2016.

Smalts was invited to participate in the event alongside Christian actor and author Kirk Cameron, who was reading from his book “As You Grow.”
The children’s story, published by Brave Books and written by Ashley St. Clair, follows a young elephant who is told that he can become a bird, equating feelings with truth.
