A Resource on Transgenderism

A Theology of the Body and Transgenderism by Ryan Pauly Download

This paper is the result of my research into gender and sexuality for my Doctor of Ministry degree in Engaging Mind and Culture at Talbot School of Theology. The scope is limited to a positive theological vision for our bodies and the cultural issue of transgenderism we now face as a result of the fall.

I hope to expand on this research by adding additional arguments from transgender advocates and addressing practical questions related to gender like pronouns, hormone therapy, surgery, and relationships with transgender individuals in the family and church. The goal is to publish the project as a small booklet that can be given out to pastors, youth workers, and parents. One printing company has quoted $5,000 to edit, design, and print the booklets.

Please email ryan@think-well.org if you have practical questions or feedback on what you read, topics that you would like to see included, or if you would like to contribute financially to the publishing of this research. Thank you!
