All right, you guys ready for this conversation?

What a way to begin a podcast slash YouTube conversation.

Today, I'm starting a series called The Diversity of Trans.

I'm going to have six different guests on the show for the series.

And one of my goals is to highlight the diversity of trans perspectives and experiences

so that people who are not either trans or don't identify as trans

or are not really part of this broader conversation can understand that there is a great deal of diversity within this conversation.

This series also surrounds the launch of my book Embodied Transgender Identities of Church

and what the Bible has to say, which comes out on February 1st.

So I'm going to do a few shows before the launch, one show on the day of the launch,

a few shows after the launch of the book.

So I encourage you to go check out my book Embodied where books are sold.

Basically, yeah, go to Amazon and you can check it out and order it.

It's basically an overview of the trans conversation from a Christian perspective.

There's a lot of science, a lot of theology, a lot of ethics, a lot of ontology in the book,

and a ton of relationships that are woven throughout the book Embodied.

So check it out if you're interested in engaging a Christian perspective on this conversation.

On the show today, we're going to kick things off with Miranda Yardley.

Miranda does not fit any of your categories.

Miranda identifies as a transsexual.

That's her preferred term, not transgender, and she explains why a little bit in this episode.

Miranda is incredibly sharp, incredibly provocative.
