This is my body: Hearing the theology of transgender Christians

by Christina Beardsley (Author), Michelle O ' Brien (Author)

Synopsis

Much has been said and written about Trans people by theologians and church leaders, but little has been heard from Trans Christians themselves. This book collects the theological reflections of the Sibyls, a major spirituality group for transgender people and their allies. It offers a comprehensive review of existing theological, cultural and scientific literature, together with people's experience of gender dissonance that involves negotiating the boundaries between one's identity and religious faith.

Media Reviews
`This Is My Body is a book many of us have been waiting for. It grants space for trans Christians to give distinctive voice to theology grounded in particular and diverse experience, free from the often oppressive constructions of gender and identity imposed by `The Church'. This book reveals the diversity of trans experiences and models hope, anger and grace in powerful ways. It announces the growing confidence of trans Christians and our refusal to be treated as second-class and welcome under sufferance.' -- Revd Rachel Mann
