Interview with Lei Ming on Transfaith
TRANSFAITH EDITOR’S NOTE: In a publishing landscape that focuses on the stories of white trans people, when trans people are featured at all, Lei Ming’s Life Beyond My Body is a blessing. Its harrowing, honest narrative conveys the vulnerability of growing up trans. Its gripping depiction of overcoming unthinkable situations with faith and determination is a testament to spiritual transcendence and an inspiration to trans people of faith everywhere. We hope you enjoy the first chapter as much as we did, and buy the book from Transgress Press or through Amazon.
