About the Guest
Laura Perry lived for nearly a decade as a transgender man named “Jake,” before realizing the deception of the transgender lifestyle and leaving it all behind. Embracing her true identity as a woman, she shares her story at churches and conferences, in articles, and on various programs, to help others find the same freedom she has.
