In this episode of T Time, we introduce you to our fourth fabulous PRIDE Month guest, Bobbi! Bobbi is a 65-year-old nonbinary, gender-fluid trans woman who offers a unique perspective regarding gender and gender identity. She came out approximately 14 years ago, and has been on hormone therapy for about a year and a half, providing us with an invaluable perspective on starting one's transition later in life. This week, we also work with Bobbi to break the gender binary through developing a deeper understanding of gender fluidity, while simultaneously acknowledging the concept of gender existing on a spectrum. Additionally, Bobbi's passion and deep connection to her Christian faith offers a wholesome and hopeful perspective for trans and LGBTQIA+ folx who might be struggling with their own religious faith.
