Your Other Family

Tom speaks two months after the first release of this episode to confess, clarify, and also commit to things said in this conversation, differentiating his personal vision from the board’s governance of Your Other Family as a nonprofit organization. The episode continues in its original entirety after the confessions and clarifications expressed in this new preface. What now? Last episode, we defined who gender minorities are, people inside the Church and out who don’t fit typically into the gendered binary, answering some “dumb questions” about their lived experience. But how do we love gender minorities well, including welcoming them in “Side B” spaces like Your Other Family? Join us for Part 2 of this important conversation as Tom, Erin, and Jesse address the questions, concerns, and fears from our YOB and YOS community members who submitted anonymous feedback. Some of this feedback is uncomfortable. Unknowns are often uncomfortable. We want to enter into healthy conflict with one another and explore the unknown with curious empathy. We hope you enter our discussion with your spirit open, ready to receive whatever Jesus has for you as we all navigate, reclaim, and integrate the complexities of our faith, sexuality, and gender. Together.

Does everyone fit neatly into male and female? Where do many queer/SSA people experience an uncomfortable gender incongruence with their culture, and where do some experience a deeper gender dysphoria? Tom and Erin welcome YOF board member Jesse to share their experience as a gender minority in Your Other Brothers. We answer honest questions from our YOB+YOS members as we start a long overdue conversation with curiosity and empathy for gender minorities who are nonbinary, genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, and transgender.
