Last month I presented Transfigurations--Transgressing Gender in the Bible at a conference in Seattle sponsored by the United Methodist Church. As I related in my blog post about it, the Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN) of the Pacific Northwest decided to focus primarily on transgender issues at the event.

After all the workshops and presentations, Shannon Buzzard, a minister and a trans woman, led a closing service that included a homily she crafted. In it she revealed the spaces where transgender people are so often invisible to non-trans people.
