FULL TITLE: 'I could be fired because I'm transgender': Female theology professor risks job at Christian college and marriage after revealing male identity

A theology professor at a Christian college is set to be replaced in his role after coming out as transgender.

For 15 years Heath Adam Ackley taught at Azusa Pacific University in California under the name Dr Heather Ann Clements, but recently he broke the news to students - and his husband - that he had been hiding his gender identity.

The 47-year-old told Religion News Service that the institution agreed to pay him for the rest of the academic year, however, because his revelation could present a 'distraction', it's preferred that other professors take over his classes.

'I did not get a sense directly from the individuals with whom I was speaking that they had a theological problem with transgender identity,' Mr Ackley said.

Born female. Still female. No changes have been made.

It doesn’t say how long she’s been married. But if it’s any length of time, then I should think the “husband” must know, and agreed not to say anything.

Also, it’s not clear that they are really married, if the wedding took place before California legalized same-sex marriages. Unless they “remarried.”

The whole business is bizarre. And she claims to be a pastor in the Mennonite Church? I shouldn’t think those guys would approve, either.

You're mistaken.

She's a woman. She was born a woman and is still a woman. She has had no hormones or operations (yet.) The only thing that's different is that she now "admits to herself" that she's a man. That, and the fact that "reporters" can't seem to accurately report news anymore.

OK. I stand corrected by posts that explain this mess that appeared while I was writing this one.

“This is a woman, who has never been anything but a woman. “

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It is confusing but at the very end of the article it reads this:

“In a bid to complete his male-to-female transformation he now hopes to get hormone treatment and surgery.”

The person who wrote this keeps referring to “Heather” as “He” and I believe this is why it’s confusing.

That's not what happened.

Everyone is confused because the PC dumbass reporter has worded this article in a way that makes it confusing.

She is a woman. She was born a woman. She is still a woman. To date, she has not had hormone "therapy" or an addadictomy. All that has changed is that she now "admits" that "deep down" she's really a man. She hid her "identity." She did not hide the fact that she used to be a man. She wasn't.

The subject is a woman in her forties, though she appears to be in her sixties. She’s always been a woman. She “produced” two children according to the dishonest, queer British article (which was intentionally written in such a way as to confuse readers). The piece is homosexual propaganda. All who have published it have misrepresented the woman as a man.

Abominable.

If all that's true what's her motive for this now? I'm guessing she's setting up the University for destruction/lawsuit. Been waiting years for this.

The husband didn't say anything because there was nothing to say. The reporter and editor who wrote and published this abomination are morons.

She was born a woman. She was married twice as a woman. She had two children as a woman. She is still a woman. She has not started taking testosterone, and she has not had an addadictomy. All that has happened is that she now "admits to herself" to she's a "man." See -- she hid her "identity." In the insane world of these liberals, being mentally ill is the same thing as "hiding your true gender" from your husband...

It’s what promiscuity and man-hating can lead a woman to. It’s an Edomite (Roman) thing. That’s all readers need to know.

If you read the article she says that she's always been confused and humiliated, but now that the latest edition of the DSM no longer characterizes her mental illness as a disorder, she's decided to reveal to everyone that she's always thought of herself as a man.

Personally, she has even bigger problems than even we think if she's willing to take moral direction from psychologists and psychiatrists.

It might help her get her divorce; possibly she lives in a state where you still need an actual reason to dissolve a marriage.

I guess the Affirmative Action well for women has run dry. And being an ordinary natural-born white male is an impediment. Being openly LGBTXYZ is now THE ticket to fame and fortune. Maybe she was looking for a job elsewhere and couldn’t get hired due to an assumption she was Evangelical Christian. Now she has street cred! Universities will be clamoring to hire her “diversity”!

So it lied about it's education? How can a husband NOT know??
