Sojourners has joined the pro-trans bandwagon. For those unaware, Sojourners, or “Sojo,” is an organization representing the evangelical left (or whatever is left of the evangelical left). In an earlier time, this meant a commitment to evangelical sexual ethics coupled with a devotion to an expansive welfare safety net, functional pacifism, opposition to racism, and other social justice concerns. The publication itself emerged out of an intentional community started by a group of politically liberal students from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. In the 1960s, the evangelical left embraced the civil rights movement and criticized the Vietnam War while holding to a claim of Christian orthodoxy. This made for a lot of uneasy alliances with other progressives in the United States and often led to clashes with what is known as the Religious Right, which Sojourners perceived as a deeply compromised movement thanks to its cooperation with other American conservatives.
