Meet Nashville's transqueer Latinx neurodivergent theologian.

The Tennessean: Meet Nashville's transqueer Latinx neurodivergent theologian.

Robyn Henderson-Espinoza is the only Nashville-based transqueer Latinx neurodivergent public theologian that they know.

"I don’t know anybody like me," Henderson-Espinoza, who uses gender-neutral pronouns, said in an interview.

One example in Henderson-Espinoza's new book of the connections between the personal and political was about attending a Unite the Right rally counter-protest. The Unite the Right rally drew white supremacists to Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017 for a march.

"At that Charlottesville Unite the Right rally, I could actually feel the hate toward my body and the indifference to marginalized people," Henderson-Espinoza wrote in their new book.

The rally, and suspicious messages and mail Henderson-Espinoza received afterwards, created trauma for Henderson-Espinoza that they still deal with.

In the section of the book about the the Unite the Right rally, Henderson-Espinoza wrote, "We can’t shift the future in the direction we want it to go without first shifting our cultural understandings of bodies. This work demands our attention to self and attention to other."
