A New Thought on Gender

A New Thought on Gender is a course designed to help credentialed spiritual leaders and community lay leaders deepen their understanding of gender diversity and expand their capacity to serve with love and inclusivity.

This course has been created by a diverse team of leaders and advocates:

  • Ben Greene from Big Trans Talks and author of My Child is Trans, Now What?: A Joy-Centered Approach to Support – author, activist, public speaker, and educator

  • Chris Paul “Rainbows” Farias author of Guinee Pigs Wear Pants – author, activist, public speaker, and educator

  • Rev. Jacquie Fernández founder of Folx with Faith – Unity minister and LGBTQ+ leader

  • Rev. Dr. Christie Love founder and executive director of the Faith and Trauma Center – researcher, religious trauma expert, minister, and activist

  • James Masters Program Coordinator for Folx with Faith – author, activist, speaker, educator, and Licensed Unity Teacher candidate

Together, we bring lived experience, pastoral care, research, and spiritual wisdom to this vital conversation.

Trauma Informed Ministries

When developing this course, we quickly realized that religious trauma surfaced again and again in our conversations. Because so many trans and queer people carry wounds from harmful faith experiences, we felt it was essential to address this directly. That’s why we added a dedicated section on creating trauma-informed ministries. Equipping spiritual leaders with the awareness and tools needed to hold safe, compassionate, and healing spaces for all.
