Hi, I'm Hannah

I'm a nerdy trans woman who enjoys D&D and gaming. I was a mormon.

About me

I was born to a "Jack Mormon" family, but was still raised in the so-called church and held to it for far too long. I was always socially anxious and knew I would never serve a mission or anything like that, but I did attend BYU-I.

# Why I left More stories of 'Why I left' the Mormon church

In my mid-twenties, I realized that I was transgender and then suddenly everything was wrong. All at once my world came crashing down around me - gender issues, faith issues, family issues - and left me in the dust of it all trying to rebuild.

At first, I tried to reconcile my gender with my faith. But then I came to learn just how hateful the so-called church is towards trans people, and that snowballed into me learning more about church history and sections of doctrine I had never learned, into learning what my also ex-mormon sister went through growing up, and I could no longer hold to my shattered faith.
