More Resources

For even more books, twitters, websites, podcasts, and videos by and for trans Christians than what is listed here, I highly recommend Austen Hartke's resources page!

Two other sites I recommend: transfaith and transsaints. The Reformation Project, Queer Grace, Believe Out Loud, and FaithfullyLGBT are also great as general LGBT faith resources.

Below is a list of trans and nonbinary Christians today, with links to where you can go to read their writings and listen to them speak for themselves.

Avery Smith (that's me!): a nonbinary writer in their last year of seminary; you can see their posts on queerlychristian here and on a-queer-seminarian here; and purchase their book of poetry here. They've also just begun a podcast that interviews trans and nonbinary people of faith, "Blessed Are the Binary Breakers," which can be found on Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, and various other podcast outlets.
Austen Harke: produces the "Transgender and Christian" Youtube series; author of Transforming. His personal site is here. You can find him on Facebook and Twitter as well.
Rev. M Barclay: director of Enfleshed, first nonbinary deacon of the United Methodist Church. Their Twitter is here.
Lynn Young: a Lakota two-spirit seminarian; Twitter is here.
Nicole M. Garcia: works in the Lutheran Church and as a counselor; her Twitter is here.
Taj M. Smith: a writer, preacher and public speaker. His website is here. His Twitter is here.

She and her wife share their thoughts and sermons on Pen and Ink Reflections; and Rev. Inkpin also runs Transspirit.org, a beautiful resource for trans and gender nonconforming Christians.
Ridgefield Rehab's LGBTQ resources for substance abuse and addiction. Substance abuse is reported among 20-30% of transgender persons, so having resources available is imperative. Thanks to Karla Monterrey for pointing me to this resource.

Tell me if there are more books, sites, podcasts, or people I should include here!
