I was browsing the library, and stumbled upon your book, Chasing Sophia. The title drew me in. I had to read it. I praise you for you open mind with regards to transgendered invidiuals. As you mentioned, and as the article alluded to, there are deep theological questions that need to answered. But as a middle-aged transwoman (contemplating/about to) transition, I actually found comfort in Chasing Sophia. I think you have answered many of the questions in there at least. At one point however, you mentioned that we are defined by our relationships and our experiences. I found that as a Christian transgender individual in my own contemplation, and potentially for others of us whom God has created as “Born to Transition”, I am not those things. I am one layer deeper. I am the emotional center that responds to relationships and experiences. It is at this level that I know I am a woman, and the place that I can feel God in my life. I haven’t finished reading your work yet, but I would recommend to any Christian transwoman who is struggling with their relationship with God.

Thank you,
Sophie Jean
