‘Our intention was (and is) to talk about the sex and gender issues that concern us in a loving and trusting space.’
Talking points: Fred Langridge and Emma Roberts find common ground for conversation
‘Even deep differences need not divide us.’
by Fred Langridge and Emma Roberts
5th January 2024
Fred is a transgender man; Emma is a lesbian with gender-critical beliefs. We have some experiences in common around gender non-conformity and dysphoria but, in a very polarised topic, we find ourselves on different sides of a big divide. Last year, following discussion in a Quaker Facebook group, we exchanged some messages and agreed to meet in a video call. Our intention was (and is) to talk about the sex and gender issues that concern us in a loving and trusting space.
