Trans Formations is not a book about trans and non-binary Christians it is a book by trans and non-binary Christians. Who we are, what we experience, and what we understand stretches beyond trans-apologetics to formative anthropological and theological notions without which the body of anthropological and theological knowledge is incomplete. We have things to say about God and about being human and our yet to be accessed insights matter. Whilst there is an abundance of material about trans ethics, there is little trans-written theology or theological anthropology that is formative, rather than trans critical or trans-apologetic. Situated within a queer paradigm, this book presents the identities, insights, and ideas of ten diverse trans and non-binary Christians. Alex Clare-Young, through their own identity, experiences, and insights of researching alongside nine other wonderful human-beings, writes a trans formational Journey into being. Will you be transformed?
