In the early 1970s, David Weekley began his transition from female to male. And in 1982, he began the process of becoming a Methodist minister.
For 27 years, Weekley, now 58, married, and the father of five adult children, did not reveal his trans status to the church or to his congregations. But on August 30, he finally told his congregation at Epworth United Methodist Church in Oregon that he had been born female with a male gender identity and had transitioned decades ago.
