Hannah Ulery / Layton Ulery and transgender people

Hannah Ulery, also known as Layton Elyas, Layton Ulery, and Leighton Ulery, is an American psychic, astrologist, and ex-transgender activist. Ulery gets money and attention by making it harder for others to get transgender healthcare.

Background

Hannah Marie Ulery was born March 9, 1992 to James Paul Ulery, Jr. and Tina-Marie Ulery. Ulery grew up in Greensboro, North Carolina with younger siblings Jacob and Samuel.

Ulery’s family attended evangelical Christian church Daystar Church (now Definition Church), where Tina-Marie Ulery works in the data entry department. Hannah Ulery characterizes the church as a “cult” where Ulery was reportedly “raped and molested by a lot of different people who were connected to the organization.” Ulery reportedly “continued to suffer sexual assaults even after leaving the cult.”

In early 2015, Ulery reportedly left Daystar. Ulery moved to Rhode Island as a young adult and lived with a partner. Ulery has identified as lesbian and has been in a relationship with Imogen Elyas (aka Hannah Ross) since 2019.

Starting at about age 25, Ulery began receiving gender-related care including hormones, Ulery discontinued hormones and made additional gender changes at about age 29.

In summer 2017, Ulery sought treatment from social worker and therapist Julie Lyons of Transgender Specialists, aka A Bold Step (now Just Say Hi). Lyons specializes in dissociation and gender identity.

By August of 2018, Ulery reported having second thoughts about testosterone use and was given a lower dose.
On September 26, 2018, Ulery met with Michelle Forcier, who continued the requested low dose.
In November 2021, Ulery stopped testosterone use and moved back to North Carolina.
In March 2020, Ulery began treatment at Monarch NC until May 2021.
