Outward: Renaissance Trans Theologies and History with Colby Gordon

In this episode of Outward, Jules Gill-Peterson sits down with
Colby Gordon to talk about his new book, Glorious Bodies: Trans
Theology and Renaissance Literature. Gordon digs into early modern
religious texts that, instead of rejecting trans existence,
actually provided ways to think about gender
transformation—socially, surgically, and theologically. They
explore what Shakespeare, Milton, and other writers had to say
about gender, how history challenges today’s assumptions about
transition, and why the right-wing war on trans people gets the
past all wrong. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
