Hal Shurtleff, host of The Camp Constitution Report, interviews David Arthur, a former Transgender. From his website: https://www.ibelongamen.com/ The LORD has provided me a very powerful testimony of deliverance and healing. I've endured a very dark life consisting of molestation, sex-trafficking, prostitution, gender confusion, rape, homosexuality and other sexual addictions & perversion, as well as alcohol, drugs, gambling, etc...But GOD... HE healed me while I was on my deathbed with full blown AIDS, no immune system, several infections in my brain & blood, progressive Osteoporosis, diabetes, various mental issues, etc...I was sexually abused from a very young age. I became a sex addict before I even hit puberty. I also suffered from gender DYSphoria (confusion) as a result of the abuse. I was the suicidal transkid that is always brought up in the debates & discussions meant to promote the TransQueer agenda. I overdosed at age 13 in an attempt to end my misery. I was a runaway prostitute that contracted HIV/AIDS at age 14. In & out of jail, psych wards, and prison; I ended up on my deathbed by age 37. The doctors gave me less than 3 months to live, and I was sent home to die. That was in 2009. But GOD!!Let me also say this... the suicidal ideation of those who claim they are trans-identified is emotional blackmail! I was that suicidal transkid, but what they do not tell you is that you go from being a suicidal transkid to being a suicidal transadult because affirmation, puberty blockers, wrong-sex hormones, inclusivity, transition, acceptance, diversity, equity do NOT take away depression, confusion, angst, trauma, or suicidal ideation!With my body weakening in the hospital bed that was placed in my home, and as hospice came in and took care of me, I recognized that I was afraid to die. I instantly knew that I was afraid to die because I did not want to go to hell, and I knew hell was not only what I deserved for all of the horrible things I'd done, but that it was exactly where I was heading. I cried out to GOD in desperation. I received clarity, and understand that GOD was not sending me to hell, but merely honoring my choice to go there.After opening a Bible, being convicted, and seeking The FATHER, I spent weeks repenting and praying to become a Child of HIS! I woke up one morning, in excruciating pain, but with an incredible Peace. It is what I call my "Moment of Grace." I felt Peace like I'd never experienced. I knew that I was free! Free of gender confusion! Free of the sexual, emotional and even the physical addictions, strongholds, and perversions, as well as the weight of sin that held me captive! GOD Almighty gave me clarity.I still believed I was going to die, but I was no longer afraid of death. I was actually at Peace with dying, and so I began praying that through my death others would come to know the Truth as well.My call is to tell of the Freedom from addictions, strongholds and even habits; how, in this process, I was allowed to see, with clarity, that I was created male and could never change that; that it was my circumstances & trauma that perverted a very natural desire for male validation into what we know as same-sex attraction. Telling of GOD'S amazing work in, with, and through my life is the first gCamp Constitution is a New Hampshire based charitable trust.
