Inspired
Inspired is the nation's leading public radio show about faith, ethics and spirituality. Each week we offer you analyses of the big headlines alongside lesser-told stories – those of Orthodox Jewish artists and African-American atheists, Muslim feminists and spiritual seekers. Through these stories, a rough sketch of our country’s religious landscape begins to emerge. It’s a marketplace of beliefs and ideas too complex for sound bites, and too important to ignore.
In the past decade, public opinion on LGBT issues, like same-sex marriage, has changed drastically. However, the growing acceptance of the L, the G, and the B has not necessarily extended to the T — transgender people. That may be because being transgender is not a sexual orientation but a gender identity; it isn’t about who you love; it’s about who you are. We talk to two journalists and two researchers about how Americans, particularly those of faith, are still working through the complexities of gender identity. We talk with Emma Green, staff writer for The Atlantic, and Robert P. Jones, founder of the Public Religion Research Institute.
