The editors of the JFSR apologize for a grave error that recurs throughout volume 34, number 1. References to trans women and trans men were edited to read transwomen and transmen.

Abstract:
The editors of the JFSR apologize for a grave error that recurs throughout volume 34, number 1. References to trans
women and trans men were edited to read transwomen and transmen. We recognize that for many readers this
appellation is deeply insulting as it implies that such persons are not fully women or men but a separate category
altogether. This alteration is doubly disturbing as this issue marked an effort to take responsibility for a history of
destructive transphobia on the part of feminist scholars of religion and to forge new connections between feminist,
womanist, queer and trans theories and methods in the study of religion.
