Much has been said and written about trans people by theologians and Church leaders, while little has been heard from trans Christians themselves. As a step towards redressing the balance, This Is My Body offers a grounded reflection on people-s experience of gender dissonance that involves negotiating the boundaries between one-s identity and religious faith, as well as a review of the most up-to-date theological, cultural and scientific literature.The book includes contributions from many people associated with the Sibyls, the UK-based confidential spirituality group for transgender people and their allies. People-s stories span many decades and most recount how they have come to reconcile their gender variance with their Christian convictions. These honest narratives follow a series of informative chapters, including -Gender Incongruence in the changing social and medical environment- by Terry Reed.
