The journey to becoming embodied -- Bodies, violence, and embodiment -- Mind, body, skin, scars -- (Repetition). The healing power of somatics -- The politics of bodies in motion -- Embodiment as a vision for democracy -- Epílogo -- A more perfect union: stories of embodiment in community -- Reflection and somatic offering."The body that Robyn Henderson-Espinoza inhabits is a nonbinary body, a trans body, a body in two races--and a body continually in discovery. Theirs is also a body on sojourn invested in experience, body understanding, and engagement in and for human thriving. Henderson-Espinoza relates coming into a new body story, beginning with the deep emotional work of connecting the abstract intelligence of their mind with their body's intelligence, to explore the relationship between living and becoming, doing and listening. Combining that deep listening and living with their work in activism, Body Becoming offers us a way of understanding the body beyond constructions--political or medical-industrial-complex defined--toward cultivating the body as important in our endeavors to build a more inclusive vision for democracy. Mixing memoir and faith, somatics theory and body practice, Henderson-Espinoza steers us through territory both familiar and difficult--as we discover embodiment as the primary place of deep wisdom, where culture shifts originate and materialize--and a better world becomes, as we too become."--Amazon.- Subjects: Autobiographies.; Henderson-Espinoza, Robyn.; Human body; Gender-nonconforming people; Introspection; Self-consciousness (Awareness); Self-knowledge, Theory of.; Conduct of life.; Transgender people.; Corps humain; Conscience de soi.; Connaissance de soi.; Morale pratique.; Gender non-conforming people.;

- Talking taboo : American Christian women get frank about faith / by Lane, Erin,1984-(CARDINAL)405205; Okoro, Enuma,1973-(CARDINAL)501980;
"American Christian women under 40 are being theologically trained in unprecedented numbers, accessing leadership in their communities through both orthodox and unorthodox avenues, and balancing the roles of professional, wife, mother, girlfriend, and friend. With all of the perceived progress, why do they feel like their young voices still aren't being heard? And if they found the courage to speak, what would they want to say? The latest book in the I Speak For Myself series addresses the experiences of faith, gender, and identity that remain taboo for American Christian women under 40. Is it our desire to remain childless in a Catholic tradition that largely defines women by their ability to reproduce? Is it our struggle with pornography in an evangelical subculture that addresses it only as the temptation of unsatisfied men? From masturbation, miscarriage, and menstruation to ordination, co-habitation, and immigration, this collection of essays explores the most provocative topics of faith left largely unspoken in 21st century American faith life. For women and their partners, faith leaders and their members, historians and their students, this book documents the voices of young Christian women and their refusal to be silent any longer"--Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Christian women;
