All I know about the topic is that a non-trans plenary speaker at the
recent 4th International Congress on Sex, Gender and CDing, spoke on the
issue of transpeople and religion. His name is Bill Stayton, and he
practices psychiatry outside Philly in KIng of Prussia. You could
definitely get in contact w/him through the CD organization Renaissance.
Write to Angela Gardner the exec. dir. of Renaissance at: [log in to unmask]
I believe there was one other presentation (I also didn't hear) at the 4th
Congress on "What the Bible Says about Trans...". I think they are planning
a published collection of the presentations, again, ask Angela about this.
Luck,
