E362: I Spent 5 Years As A Man: Here's My Story w/Haley Furst | Lila Rose Show

Haley saw transgender YouTubers as a child and she wanted what they seemed to have...the only issue: Haley lived in a Christian household. Over the next few years Haley distanced herself from her family and church as she embraced a transgender identity, even undergoing surgery. Today, she shares the incredible journey from Haley to Fletcher and back to Haley.
