Call Me Malcolm

For most of his life Malcolm was not called Malcolm. He was raised in a rural area as Miriam for most of his life, but on reaching puberty he knew there was something not quite right about his persona. As a trans man, he underwent an agonizing reappraisal of the very essence of who he was. His gender identity was only the first journey. Malcolm felt a need to show that Christianity can indeed apply to transgender people. After the surgical transformation he entered the seminary to become a minister in the United Church of Christ.
