Omnigender: A Trans-Religious Approach (2001) is available from bookstores or from The Pilgrim Press (Cleveland). This book bridges traditional religious doctrine and secular postmodern theory regarding gender. Through an examination of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures and church history as well as the exploration of other religious traditions and cultures, Mollenkott honors the experience of people who do not fit within the traditional binary concept of gender: intersexual, trans-sexual, or otherwise-gendered individuals. |

Transgender Journeys (with Vanessa Sheridan, a male cross-dresser, 2003) is available from select bookstores and on Amazon. Transgender Journeys addresses personal and practical experience of the authors in their journey as Christians and gender variant people. It presents some good theological perspectives and arguments in favor and in support of TG people as Christian. It can inspire a struggling TG Christian and is a good tool to build bridges to reach Christians that do not understand how TG’s can fit into the realm of Christianity. taken from a review on First Unitarian Universalist Church of Berks County website |

Sensuous Spirituality: Out from Fundamentalism - revised and expanded edition (2008)is available from bookstores or from The Pilgrim Press (Cleveland). Originally published in 1992, Sensuous Spirituality is about integration of sexuality and spirituality, social activism and personal peace, males and their "feminine" component, females and their "masculine" component, transgender people and full social appreciation. It discusses the Bible, the erotic, the gender continuum, the human imaging of God, procreative self-direction, interpretive communities, family-church parallels, and much more -- all in an autobiographical context and "generic feminine" language. |
