A Tennessee student who had gender reassignment surgery when his parents were out of the country was expelled from his religious private school.
Yanna Awtrey, 21, who was born female but now identities as male, was a student at Welch College, a four-year Free Will Baptist school in Nashville. However just hours after undergoing top surgery to remove his breast tissue in early August, he received an email informing him he had been expelled from both his dorm and education.
'I received a message from Welch College that stated they would be kicking me out effective immediately due to that fact I am openly transgender and having top surgery,' he revealed on Facebook.
Yanna was raised by a Bulgarian mother and California-born father, both missionaries whom are currently in Bulgaria trying to spread the word of the Free Will Baptist church.
