Research on Transgender Christians to be Presented at the Virginia Psychological Association's Spring Conference

Members of ISSI have been conducting a study on the experiences of transgender individuals who identify as Christian. The project was completed in the fall of 2009, and Dr. Mark Yarhouse and Trista L. Carr, M.A., will present the findings at the Virginia Psychological Association's (VPA's) spring convention in a paper titled, "Transgender Christians' Experiences: A Qualitative Study." Here is the abstract:

    Though the experiences of transgender persons have been explored to some extent, very few scholars have delved into the relationship between gender identity as a trangender person and religious identity as a Christian. Therefore, the qualitative data described herein reflects the narratives of 32 transgender individuals who are biological males and identify as Christians.
