Please join us for Transpositive on KBOO Community Radio on Friday, September 10th as we talk with Hilary Howes and Sheila Mengert about being transgender and Catholic. According to Wikipedia, Catholics account for about 1.3 billion of the world's population which represents a large number of transgender people. Overwhelmingly transgender folks flee the catholic church because of how they view the teaching of the church on LGBTQ issues. Hilary Howes is admin of transcatholic.org and member of a tradition within the Catholic church that accepts and celebrates transgender people as created in the image of god. Sheila Mengert is a lifelong catholic and author of Transexualism and It's Discontents. We will have a discussion with Sheila and Hilary about their own unique interpretations of their faith tradition and its intersection with their transgender identity.
