Gender Heretics: Evangelicals, Feminists, and the Alliance Against Trans, With Rebecca Jane Morgan

For decades, conservative evangelicals and Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists have worked together to oppose trans liberation. But how did this alliance come about? What makes it tick? And how can trans people and allies respond?

This book, written by a trans feminist who is also an evangelical Christian, is a history of reactionary ideas. It traces how a shared belief in the essential unity of the mind and the body, together with a common fear of ‘dualist’ or ‘Gnostic’ philosophies, brought these groups into contact in the 1970s.

It explores how theological arguments snaked their way from anti-trans feminist tracts into the everyday practices of evangelical churches today. And it offers a hopeful way forward, advocating for a fundamental recalibration of evangelical thought on gender identity and trans activism.

Rebecca Jane Morgan will be in conversation with Onni Gust
