False Binary: One (?) Person’s Story

Using his personal story as an illustration, Wink Chin addresses American and Evangelical Christian culture’s use of a strict binary between male and female. Taking time to define and separate sex and gender, as well as introduce the idea of a gender spectrum, Chin shows how creating a strict dichotomy of male/female isolates and rejects those who aren’t able to identify with one or the other because of their biological makeup or gender identity.  In the end he questions if Evangelical Christianity is able to welcome him and those identifying as transgender or genderqueer into its community.
