The Impact of Christianity on Trans and Nonbinary People: A Systematic Literature Review

Christianity’s impact on transgender and nonbinary people is crucial to examine in today's socio-political context. Panel members will discuss findings from a recent systematic review, including the state of current research, micro, mezzo, and macro practice implications, future directions related to intersectionality, and potential barriers.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
  1. Identify gaps in the current research literature pertaining to the intersection of Transgender and Gender Non-Binary (TGNB) individuals and Christianity.
  2. Examine the effect of intersectional marginalization impacting specific groups, including but not limited to TGNB People of Color and TGNB People with Disabilities.
  3. Brainstorm potential next steps for research with the intention of enhancing knowledge bases and practice interventions when practitioners provide services to TGNB individuals during service provision.
