Drawing from their experience of Quaker spirituality, youth worker and transgender advocate Kody Gabriel will share a love letter to trans young people and the inner child in gender-nonconforming adults. Their talk will explore the spiritual gifts of trans identity, put Quaker theology and gender liberation in dialogue, and offer practices of resilience for keeping ourselves whole in the face of political and social oppression. Kody’s talk will center and speak to the experiences of trans and gender-nonconforming people. People of all gender identities and experiences are welcome to attend.
Kody will give this lecture from the Albuquerque Friends Meetinghouse in Albuquerque, New Mexico. You are invited to register to join by Zoom or on campus at Pendle Hill. You could also join Kody in Albuquerque or host your own watch party with your meeting or gathering to participate via Zoom.
This and other Pendle Hill First Monday Lectures are streamed live and available as recordings on their YouTube channel.
