“Gender Diversity and Christian Community”
OtherWise Christian 2: Stories of Resistance

Virginia’s article in OtherWise Christian 2 first appeared in The Other Side magazine in 2001. It was the lead article in that historic cluster, lending the credibility of a long-time lesbian-feminist ground-breaking scholarly voice to the emerging conversation about transgender experience.

Virginia’s chapter, “Gender Diversity and Christian Community,” will appear in OtherWise Christian 2: Stories of Resistance (March 2020) from OtherWise Engaged Publishing.
