I think there's a beauty to honesty and owning it like hey, I'm trans and that's not- doesn't make me any less human than anyone else.
Growing up is tough enough, but imagine doing it in a cult while discovering your transgender identity. In this gripping episode of 'Rebuilding the Beast', host Festus Ezeli sits down with Sarah Seasol, who shares her unique journey of self-discovery and resilience. Raised in Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church, Sarah faced immense challenges as she explored her sexuality in an environment that was anything but accepting.
The church's strict doctrines on procreation and 'ideal families' left no room for LGBTQ+ identities, making Sarah's path even more daunting. Sarah opens up about the heartbreak of being kicked out by her parents and the struggle to embrace her true self. She talks candidly about the strained relationships with her family and the mental health battles she faced along the way. Yet, amid all this adversity, Sarah found hope and support within the transgender community.
Her story is a testament to the power of self-love and the importance of finding your tribe. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with their identity or dealing with family rejection. Sarah's courage and determination to live authentically will inspire you to own your truth, no matter the obstacles. Join Festus and Sarah for an honest and heartfelt conversation that sheds light on the complexities of growing up transgender in a restrictive environment.
Tune in for a story that will touch your heart and remind you of the strength it takes to be yourself.
