In a world where identity confusion has reached epidemic proportions among young people, one young man’s testimony stands as a beacon of hope and truth. Diego’s journey from living as a woman for six years to encountering the radical love of Jesus Christ offers profound insights into the spiritual warfare surrounding gender identity and the supernatural power of God to transform lives.
The Roots of Confusion: Understanding Generational Influence
Diego’s story begins not with a single traumatic event, but with what he now recognizes as generational patterns that opened doors to spiritual confusion from his earliest memories. Born in Peru to a Christian family, Diego experienced desires to be a woman from as young as five or six years old, even before his father’s tragic death when he was six.
This early manifestation reveals a crucial truth that many miss: identity confusion often stems from generational curses passed down through family lines. As the Bible declares in Exodus 34:7, the iniquities of the fathers can visit the children to the third and fourth generation. Diego’s father recognized these tendencies early, expressing concern and determination to address them, while his mother, though loving, felt uncertain about how to respond.
When his father passed away, leaving a profound void in Diego’s life, the enemy intensified his attacks. The broken family structure, with his mother falling into deep depression and the children essentially raising themselves, created the perfect storm for demonic influence to take root and grow stronger.
The Enemy’s Strategic Recruitment
What emerges clearly from Diego’s testimony is how the enemy orchestrates a systematic recruitment process, using multiple entry points to draw people deeper into deception. The progression was calculated and methodical:
Elementary School Encounters: Diego experienced his first inappropriate sexual encounter with an older child in elementary school, an experience that opened doors to further confusion and shame. This demonstrates how the enemy uses broken children to wound other children, creating cycles of trauma and identity confusion.
Social Isolation and Bullying: Throughout his school years, Diego faced relentless bullying and rejection. The pain of being called horrible names and feeling utterly alone drove him to a breaking point where he ran to a bathroom crying, hearing voices telling him he should end his life and that “God made a mistake” with him.
Separation from Support: When Diego and his sister moved to the United States at age 17 without their mother, the enemy used this isolation to accelerate his plans. Separated from family accountability and church community, Diego felt free to explore the lifestyle he had been battling.
The Power of Demonic Evangelism vs. Silent Christians
One of the most striking aspects of Diego’s story is how aggressively the LGBTQ+ community recruited him while Christians remained silent. At his workplace, colleagues living in the gay lifestyle actively invited him to clubs and parties, and introduced him to their world. They gave him the seductive message: “You’re in America now, you can be whoever you want to be.”
This raises a sobering question for every believer: While Christians at Diego’s workplace remained silent about their faith, the world was actively discipling him into darkness. How many lives could be saved if Christians were as bold about sharing the gospel as the world is about promoting its agenda?
Social Media: The Enemy’s Modern Weapon
Perhaps most chilling is Diego’s revelation about how social media algorithms targeted him with transition content. Through Instagram and TikTok, he was bombarded with messages encouraging him to begin hormone therapy before age 18 to achieve maximum femininity before puberty concluded.
These platforms fed him a constant stream of:
- Transition success stories that looked “perfect” from the outside
- Medical advice encouraging early hormone intervention
- Messages normalizing gender dysphoria as innate identity
- Influencers promoting the idea that transition would solve all his problems
Parents must understand: Your children are being targeted with sophisticated psychological manipulation designed to convince them that transition is the path to happiness, when the reality, as Diego discovered, is far different.
The Broken System: Medical Gatekeeping That Fails
When Diego sought hormones, he discovered how broken the medical system has become. What should have been a rigorous psychological evaluation became a rubber-stamp process. The “psychologist” who evaluated him was herself transgender, creating an obvious conflict of interest and bias.
After one session where Diego shared his story, he received his hormone prescription within two days. The system designed to protect vulnerable people had become a fast-track pipeline pushing them toward irreversible decisions.
The Reality Behind the Instagram Posts
Despite achieving his goal of looking completely feminine through hormones and multiple surgeries, including breast augmentation, facial procedures, and body contouring, Diego found himself trapped in an endless cycle of dissatisfaction. Each surgery revealed new “flaws” that needed correction. The addiction to surgical modification grew stronger, not weaker, with each procedure.
Most heartbreaking was his admission: “I cried every night. I just felt so empty… I will never be a woman. The more I go, I can look as woman as possible, but I’m still a man.”
While his social media presence projected happiness and success, the reality was profound depression, anxiety, and the growing awareness that no amount of medical intervention could change his fundamental biological reality.
The Encounter That Changed Everything
Diego’s transformation began with a sister who had genuinely encountered Jesus Christ. After a traumatic experience with hallucinogenic drugs that included terrifying demonic encounters, Diego was spiritually prepared to receive his sister’s testimony about her new life in Christ.
On an airplane, unable to listen to his usual music, Diego played one Christian song from his playlist, a song from his high school years. The peace he felt was unlike anything he had experienced in years of pursuing transition.
A Mother’s Love and Strategic Prayer
Throughout Diego’s darkest years, his mother never stopped praying. Crucially, she demonstrated wisdom by not pressuring him about returning to faith but instead showing unconditional love while trusting God’s timing. Her approach offers a blueprint for parents walking through similar situations:
- Never stop praying – Intercede consistently for your child
- Show unconditional love – They need to feel accepted as a person, even while you disagree with their choices
- Listen without condemning – They already know their lifestyle conflicts with the truth
- Trust God’s timing – Transformation happens on His schedule, not ours
The Divine Moment of Truth
Diego’s encounter with Jesus happened during a moment of complete desperation. Standing in a park, wearing a dress and makeup, he cried out to God: “If you truly exist, if you are here, if you truly can heal anybody, please heal me. Give me life. I want to feel you.”
What happened next was supernatural:
- Immediate goosebumps and electricity throughout his body
- A bright light brighter than the sun appeared behind his closed eyes
- Overwhelming peace flooded his heart
- Instant conviction about his appearance—he suddenly felt “ridiculous” and “embarrassed,” like Adam and Eve after eating the forbidden fruit
The transformation was immediate and undeniable. Diego rushed home and couldn’t bring himself to look at his feminine clothes for three days.
Spiritual Warfare Intensifies
As Diego began cutting his hair and buying men’s clothes, the demonic realm responded with unprecedented attacks. That first night after his transformation, he experienced terrifying supernatural encounters, seeing multiple demons in his room, feeling oppressive spiritual heaviness, and facing direct demonic threats.
But God had also given Diego spiritual gifts. He received the ability to see into the spiritual realm and was empowered to cast out demons in Jesus’ name. When he and his sister prayed together, the room filled with supernatural light, and Diego watched multiple demons flee the house.
Opening his Bible randomly, his eyes fell on Luke 10:23-24: “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it.” God was confirming the spiritual gifts He had given Diego for ministry.
Seven Months of New Creation Life
Today, Diego radiates the joy and peace that only comes from an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. His testimony has already reached millions, leading countless others to question their own journeys and seek the freedom found only in Christ.
The prophecy his sister received has begun unfolding: Diego is indeed sharing his testimony to nations, and God is using his story to set captives free worldwide.
Critical Lessons for Our Generation
Diego’s testimony provides a warfare manual for understanding and combating the enemy’s strategies:
For Parents:
- Address generational patterns through prayer and deliverance
- Monitor your children’s social media consumption closely
- Create strong family bonds that make children less vulnerable to outside influence
- Never stop praying, but balance truth with unconditional love
For Christians:
- Be as bold about sharing the gospel as the world is about promoting its agenda
- Recognize that workplace evangelism can save lives
- Understand that identity confusion often has spiritual roots requiring spiritual solutions
For Those Struggling:
- Know that early desires don’t determine God’s design for your life
- Understand that social media is being weaponized to target vulnerable young people
- Recognize that the medical system has largely abandoned protective gatekeeping
- Remember that Jesus specializes in setting captives free and making all things new
The Power of Authentic Testimony
Diego’s vulnerability in sharing his story demonstrates the power of authentic testimony to break through deception and bring hope to those still trapped in darkness. His willingness to expose the reality behind the glamorous social media posts—the endless surgeries, the crying every night, the profound emptiness—provides the honest perspective that struggling individuals desperately need to hear.
As Diego powerfully states: “I believe there’s going to be a revival in the young generation, and I believe that God is using platforms to reach as many people as possible because the devil is so wise… but we need to be wiser than him.”
A Call to Action
Diego’s transformation proves that no one is beyond the reach of God’s love and power. If you’re reading this and struggling with identity confusion, gender dysphoria, or any form of sexual brokenness, know that the same Jesus who set Diego free is calling out to you today.
The enemy may have had access to your life through generational patterns, trauma, or deceptive social media content, but Jesus Christ came to set the captives free and to break every chain that binds you.
