Detransitioner Oli London Credits Jesus, Church With Stopping Trans Surgeries: ’I Lost’

Social media influencer Oli London said rediscovering faith helped convince him to detransition, stop life-altering gender reassignment surgeries, and turn his life around.    “Part of my de-transition was ... rediscovering faith,“ he told CBN’s Faithwire, noting he went to church as a young child but by high school was no longer devout until he began detransitioning. “I really rediscovered my faith journey because I needed some guidance in my life. I was ... very lost, and this really helped me.“   London, who is preparing for the Aug. 1 release of his book, “Gender Madness: One Man’s Devastating Struggle with Woke Ideology and His Battle to Protect Children,“ praised the Christians he encountered along the way, calling them the “most kind, inclusive, incredible, non-judgmental community.“   “They really are so embracing of anyone,“ London said. “No matter what you’ve been through, we all sin ... but ... it’s about recognizing that, dealing with it, and then trying to learn from that experience in order to help others.“   He said his own experience has helped him let go of some of the guilt and past struggles he had, including the emotional turmoil he put his family through with all of his surgeries.   “I have to learn to live with that, because I can’t take it back,“ London said. “It’s happened. But I can learn from that and I can use that to try and help others.“ He’s grateful for the church and the “teachings of Jesus,“ and said he had to come to accept himself for who God made him to be.   “No matter how we look, how we identify, we are God’s creatures,“ he said. “So, we need to learn to accept that.“ Watch for London’s full story.
