@article { , title = {Trans people and the Church of England: disadvantage and microaggressions}, abstract = {In this article, I discuss the situation of trans people within the Church of England. I outline instances of legal and institutional discrimination in the following situations: the Equality Act 2010 in the context of employment, promotion and training; trans candidates for ordination; and marriage involving (a) trans person(s). I discuss some theology relating to this discrimination. I explain the impact of disadvantage and discrimination for minority groups with reference to minority stress, and clarify the microaggressive messages contained in differential institutional treatment for trans people. I suggest that the harm done by Church discrimination against trans people is real and significant, and ought to be recognised and addressed.}, doi = {10.3828/mb.2017.22}, eissn = {2053-633X}, issn = {1353-1425}, issue = {4}, journal = {Modern believing}, pages = {321-342}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Liverpool University Press}, url = {https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/516916}, volume = {58}, keyword = {Centre for Gender Studies, Institute of Applied Ethics, Church of England, Discrimination, Discretion, Equality Act 2010, LGBT, Marriage, Microaggressions, Minority stress, Ordination, Prejudice, Trans, Transgender}, year = {2017}, author = {Clucas, Rob} }
