Summary: This short documentary entitled Transmormon, tracks the life of Eri Hayward, who was born and raised in Utah as a Mormon. Eri discusses how she had to come to terms with the fact that the gender she was assigned at birth was not the gender she knows herself to be. As she prepares for sex reassignment surgery, she and her parents recount her journey and how she has worked to reconcile her transgender identity with her religious beliefs as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. People are often hesitant to talk about what has been clearly stigmatized, so Transmormon provides an an excellent means of beginning a discussion about transgender experiences and identities. The film centers on Eri's intensely personal experiences growing up, but students can be encouraged to think about the implications of widespread stigmatization against transgender people, including the role it plays in creating high levels of violence and discrimination, higher rates of suicide, and inferior access to health care. To learn more about the public issues many transgender people face, explore our Pinterest board on the topic.

Dear Eric,

I am not LDS, but I am Christian, but I feel so moved and compelled by your story. I want to lift you up, and thank God for your strength and the authenticity of your character. I praise God that you have shared your story so beautifully because it will surely bless others and or communities as all churches come to encounter a new level of understanding and love for all people. God bless your family for accepting God's revelation. God bless you journey as you draw nearer to Him, and remember that His plan for you will overcome, no matter the decision of church leadership.

God bless you!!!

In love,
Brianna
