WEBINAR GUIDE:

Robin Knauerhase

Robin Knauerhase whimsically describes herself as an “iconoclastic punny geek Christian, aspiring polymath, and incurable horophile.” She is “out” as a woman of transgender experience and is the first trans Moderator of the Disciples LGBTQ+ Alliance. Her passion for queer-Christian equality stems in part from being rejected by her home church when she transitioned, and in part from the literalist interpretations of scripture she “soaked up” from her extended family.

​

Professionally, Robin is a research scientist with Intel; among her interests have been supercomputing, cloud computing, and Internet underpinnings. She holds 44 patents and has published in numerous academic workshops and conferences. 

​

Robin is a member of the First Christian Church of Portland. Her hobbies include science fiction, data privacy, global travel, clever puns, and spicy foods. Robin lives in downtown Portland with her adorable cat Libby.

Does This Describe You?

Join DSF for a 1 hour lively training about EXACTLY what the letters in LGBTQI mean!

This is especially for you if you…

​

  • Don’t know what all the initials mean

  • Avoid asking because you’re worried you might offend someone 

  • Know there is a difference between sexual orientation and gender identity….but you’re not quite sure what it is

  • Feel like you just got a grasp on gay and lesbian, but bisexuality, transgender and intersex are brand new categories for you

  • Want your church to be more inclusive but you’re not sure how to go about it

​

….. And you’re too embarrassed to ask any of these questions. If any of these questions have arisen in your mind, then this Webinar is for YOU. 

 

Robin’s training will free you from embarrassing questions and explain each letter in the acronym. Even if your church IS open and affirming… is it truly inclusive at a deep level? 

This webinar was co-sponsored by DSF and Disciples LGBTQ+ Alliance ("AllianceQ")
