Deprogrammed: The 'radical perspective change' that led this transgender atheist to Jesus

Sitting in the comfort of her sunlit white room, adorned with gold jewelry sits Haley Furst, a woman who identified as a transgender, atheist man who supported communism for several years before rekindling her belief in Jesus Christ.

"I believed in anarchal communism, I was an atheist for a moment of my life, and I really believed in whatever the furthest left-leaning political stance one could possibly take, [even from] abortion all the way up until the point of giving birth," Furst told Fox News Digital.

"I really just had a radical perspective change where now… I believe in biblical values and everything that entails and what that looks like," she continued.

Furst, who grew up in Alberta, Canada, which she described as "the most right-wing" and "conservative leaning" province within the country, detailed the "culture shock" she experienced within her own homeland.

"Growing up in a Christian home and having gone to a private Christian school up until high school - first going into that Canadian public high school was very [much a] culture shock… Gender liberation, sexual liberation, [was] a huge topic of conversation at the time [and] what we call GSAs, that's Gay Straight Alliance clubs, within schools," she added.

"It was very interesting going from a school where none of those things were discussed, and if they were discussed, it was from a healthy standpoint of, you know, this is what's age-appropriate to talk with teenagers about into a public school. Where [now] this [was] not only talked about in almost every class, but these conversations are had with adult teachers and underage students," Furst continued.

As for how this affected her life, she revealed that it led to "about five or six years" during which she "identified as a transgender man."

"I was born a female… but for five or six years I presented as a male [and] took male hormones so that I could appear as a man. I had one transitional surgery and that looked [like] a hysterectomy, where they took my uterus and one of my ovaries," she said.

Furst said that a coworker who read Romans 8:38 to her was the catalyst for her reignited faith in God that dismantled the worldview she once defended.

Romans 8:38-39 reads, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

"I had gone home and continued to wrestle with that and by myself alone in my bedroom I said…I'm just going to pray and see what happens, and I highly doubt that Jesus would still want me, but I'm going to do that anyway," Furst continued.

"It was a slow heart work, but now I get to come as the woman that I am today, because it was [a] slow and steady journey of [my] relationship with Jesus," she relayed.

Furst went on to detail her changed perspective on adults who "share about their sexual identity with children", citing that she is "very critical" of those who choose to have those conversations with those who are underage – especially since she claims early exposure to those conversations were "slowly manipulating her" into struggling with an identity that she never had before.

"As someone who had an early childhood where those conversations were very healthy and they were age-appropriate to then going into my teenage years where, at my public Canadian high school it was so talked about in such in-depth detail, you can very much see how that's actually damaging," Furst shared.

"There is so much talk, way more talk with children about sexual identity than there ever was in past years where we're having conversations way younger than it needs to be. And I think that parents have [a] very interesting sort of situation now of, how do you navigate keeping your child innocent in a world that tells them the safest thing is for them to know about all these sexual things from a very young age," she stated.

"If someone wants to be asking specific details about same-sex sexual actions, I don't think that is age-appropriate for a 13-year-old, 14-year-old. And I also really don't think that that conversation is meant to be had teacher to student. I think that should be reserved for families to decide how they want to approach those conversations and when it's most appropriate for those to be had," Furst said.
