Description
Book SynopsisExposes and explains the unlikely alliance between Evangelical Christians and anti-transgender feminists
Trade Review'Compellingly explains the seemingly quixotic anti-trans alliance of radical feminists and conservative evangelicals. Intellectually rich yet accessible, it demonstrates how that alliance is rooted in a shared ideological inheritance and weaponizing of a range of political tactics and hackneyed conspiracies. In doing so, it also points to ways in which their anti-trans stances can be understood and countered.'
-- Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy, University of Westminster; Chair of AIDS Memory UK
'We live in a time when anti-trans politics is becoming increasingly dehumanizing and dangerous. Reading this illuminating book will help the open-minded, open-hearted Christian reader hear, encounter, and love their trans neighbors. I learned much from this book. I am grateful for it.'
-- David P. Gushee, Distinguished University Professor of Christian Ethics, Mercer University
