Ted Halley
DE-TRANSITION ER
Ted Halley grew up in Opelika and graduated from Auburn University. He is a USAF veteran of 24 years. Father to five adopted children and many grandchildren. After his children were grown, Ted bought into the Transgender lie and fully transitioned, (medically and legally) living as a "woman" for 12 years. In March of 2021 he was radically redeemed and delivered by Jesus Christ! Since then, he has de-transitioned back to "original"!
Ted is grateful to God for saving him and feels called to share his testimony and the Truth about the Transgender agenda in these confused days. He has spoken at churches, on podcasts and was the focus of an 1819 News article in 2022 shedding light on transgender issues. He is currently helping to fight and outlaw transgender medical treatments to minors in Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Oregon, Kentucky, Washington DC, Louisiana, and Montana.
