Alex Clare-Young
I am a transmasculine non-binary person with a developing portfolio based on my passion about advocating for the inclusion of, and social justice for, trans people. I research, write, teach, speak and consult on trans identities and/or theology. I also regularly lead workshops on trans inclusion and affirmation in secular and religious contexts.
I am completing doctoral research at the University of Birmingham, kindly funded by the Council for World Mission, into the identities, lived experiences and theological understandings of trans people. As an ordained minister in the United Reformed Church, I am deployed part time to a radically inclusive, social-media based church, Churspacious. As a keen supporter of LGBTQ+ charities and organisations, I am co-chair of the Open Table Network, and a member of Creating Sanctuary. I am also a content writer and educator with The Inclusion Crowd. My first book, Transgender. Christian. Human., was published in 2019.
I am married to Jo, with whom I enjoy adventures, time spent in nature, arts and crafts and music. We are both vegan and teetotal, and are passionate about finding ways to walk lighter and live joyfully.
