Transforming: The Bible and the Lives of Transgender Christians by Austen Hartke
informative
inspiring
fast-paced
4.5
"transgender people are not a burden to christianity." if you go into this book with a genuine and open mind, i think you'll learn a lot. i enjoy reading how trans christians, who are ostracized and demonized by the church, were able to find their own path with christianity. i think this is a beautiful book to show how God's love is not limited, but is available to everyone. i liked how scripture and science were used together to support the authors points/arguments. this is less of a defense argument and more of an informative piece of work which could be helpful for those going into it with an open mind. as someone trying to reconcile with faith and being under the lgbtq umbrella, this book gave me hope, comfort, and healing.
