Former Victim: "Jesus Changed Everything"

Nov 8, 2024

Sophia Galvin’s mind and body were devastated by the effects of an attempted chemical assault on her body. But at the lowest point of her life, Sophia says, “Jesus changed everything.”

But more than 100 cities and states nationwide — including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear — have BANNED lifesaving Christian counseling for people like Sophia, who suffer from gender dysphoria, aka gender confusion or “transgenderism.”

Liberty Counsel is SUING to reverse these unlawful and outrageous Christian counseling bans.

Help people like Sophia with your gift today.

Who am I? Like many young girls today, Sophia Galvin found herself asking this question at the age of 14. Not only did she feel uncomfortable in her changing body, but she also found herself sexually attracted to the other students at her all-girls high school. “I felt ashamed and didn’t want to be gay,” says Sophia, but being welcomed by the LGBTQ community seemed to give her the acceptance she had been seeking.

Despite being rapidly “indoctrinated into the LGBTQ ideologies” and becoming an LGBTQ activist in her school, her spiraling anxiety and persistent questioning landed her in the hospital multiple times. If living an openly LGBTQ lifestyle wasn’t the answer she’d been searching for, what was? A quick online search led her to self-diagnose as having gender dysphoria, for which living a trans lifestyle seemed to be the only remedy.

By 17, Sophia began socially “transitioning,” which entailed flattening her breasts and wearing men’s clothing. By 18, she began taking hormone drugs that Planned Parenthood was all too eager to dispense. This all culminated in a double mastectomy that was hastily performed without time for Sophia to consider the consequences.

A deepening voice. Bouts of anger. Diminishing femininity. Sophia no longer recognized the woman in the mirror. Society had told her this would be a good thing. This new body and sense of self would be the answer to her problems. But it wasn’t. In fact, trying to live as trans was only creating more confusion.

Desperate, Sophia searched for resources to reverse what she had done to her body. But she couldn’t find any. Where was that community that had been so initially welcoming?

All alone, she quit the testosterone cold turkey, which wreaked havoc on her mental state and landed her in a mental institution. At the lowest point in her life, a friend shared the good news of Jesus Christ — and it changed everything. For the first time, Sophia felt the love, acceptance, and hope she had been searching for all along.

End the Christian Counseling Bans!

Christian counseling has been proven to heal gender dysphoria. Yet more than 100 cities and states have bowed to LGBTQ demands to BAN this lifesaving practice ... perhaps because it works so well.

Liberty Counsel has overturned 23 of these bans. Our win before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals freed the people of Florida, Georgia, and Alabama to seek and receive counseling of their choice.

We expect at least one of our new cases to set up a conflict within the Appeals Court system so that the U.S. Supreme Court will be forced to review this issue and determine — once and for all — if Christian counseling should remain legal and available for those who choose its lifesaving help.

We need your help to fight the evil seeking to destroy our children, especially our girls. A special Challenge Grant has been established to DOUBLE the impact of every donation to our legal fund today. Please give generously.

The battle is raging in Congress as well ...

HR 15, the so called “Equality Act,” seeks to expand “gender-affirming care” while also banning change counseling nationwide. This bill needs only a few more votes to pass, and Democrats are doing everything they can to ram their agenda through before the 2025 inauguration.

We must stop this madness NOW before even one more child is robbed of the chance to live their TRUE God-given identity. Please, fax Congress now and demand they VOTE NO on HR 15!
