Trib Talk: Transgender and Mormon

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2015, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.

For Mormons, gender is central to both LDS Church doctrine and practice - men and women have distinct and eternal characteristics, men gather in priesthood meetings while women attend Relief Society, etc. This makes it especially difficult for transgender Mormons to find a space within their faith.

On Monday at 12:15 p.m., Tribune religion writer Peggy Fletcher Stack and transgender Mormons Sara Jade Woodhouse, Grayson Moore and Annabel Jensen join Jennifer Napier-Pearce to talk about what it means to be transgender and LDS.
