What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Announces the growing confidence of trans Christians and our refusal to be treated as second-class and welcome under sufferance.’
‘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’.

It announces the growing confidence of trans Christians and our refusal to be treated as second-class and welcome under sufferance.’ – Revd Rachel Mann
