In this week’s episode of the Ruth Institute’s “Dr. J Show,” ex-gay Nancy Charles tells the story of how childhood sexual abuse and a misguided quest for affirmation led her into a lesbian lifestyle, then into the hands of a psychologist who thought she needed a sex change … and how she found redemption instead. This is Part 1. Stay tuned for Part 2!
