Ex-trans Christian defends evangelical training event after Oxford college’s apology
from Christian Today:
A Christian woman who used to be transgender has defended an evangelical training event after an Oxford college apologised for allowing it to take place on its campus.
Worcester College, part of the University of Oxford, apologised for hosting the Wilberforce Academy after complaints from students who found a leaflet connected to the event.
They took particular issue with the attendance of Mike Davidson, founder of the Core Issues Trust, a charity that helps people with unwanted same-sex attraction.
Concerns were also raised about the trust’s stance on Islam and a session at the Wilberforce Academy called “The nature of Islam”.
Ex-trans Christian Libby Littlewood was both a speaker and delegate at this year’s Wilberforce Academy, where she shared her experience of living as a transgender man before detransitioning.
She said the academy was a chance for like-minded Christians to speak about issues “from a well-researched and sensitive place”.
“Wilberforce Academy was, for me, an opportunity to share our experiences, which are so often silenced by one-sided politics and public intolerance,” she told The Tab.
