Gender, process or fact?

As a Christian and an Anglican priest (not only because of my Christian identity and vocation but also my passion), I love to reach out to the people in the community. One group of people I have never met personally is transgender. Lately, I have started to read a book called “Gender: Your Guide – A GENDER-FRIENDLY PRIMER ON What to Know, What to Say, and What to Do in the New Gender Culture” by Lee Airton.

In this book, Lee Airton writes, “transgender people were assigned a sex and corresponding gender category at birth, but this assignment doesn’t reflect who we are”. In the book, Lee explains how gender works from the perspective of gender as an ongoing, lifelong process.

For me, I am on a lifelong journey/path to authentic manhood. I am still learning and becoming the man God designed me to be. From this point of view, I experience & see gender as an ongoing, lifelong process.
