The Many Faces of Transgender: A Catholic View by Gerald D. Coleman

The title of this book refers to the "many faces" of transgender to focus on the fact that transgender persons are not people to be objectified or merely the subjects of ethical and medical analysis. Every trans person carries her or his own unique story and background and deserves to be shown the dignity and respect owed to every individual. The book aims at laying out the main ingredients of importance in properly situating transgender, without attempting a thorough analysis of every aspect of this subject. Challenging issues are studied: for example, pronoun usage and transgender reassignment surgery, with special attention to children who identify as transgender. This book addresses important questions on how theology and various religious faiths deal with transgender persons, with special emphasis on the Roman Catholic perspective. This book will be helpful in the ongoing struggles to contextualize the June 15, 2020 decision of the United States Supreme Court that protects LBGTQ+ persons from discrimination. Paperback
