Abstract
This response to Joy Ladin's work attempts to articulate how a reconceptualization of God in terms of a "cursing" and "shaming" God might be theologically helpful. Rather than understanding God as cursing transgender people who ought to be ashamed of themselves, this response investigates what it is that God might curse, shame, bless, and bring to pride in relation to transgender people.

Queering Migrations Towards, From, and Beyond Asia explores the intersection of migration and queerness as they relate to ethnic/racial identity constructions, immigration processes and legal status, the formation of trans/national or trans/cultural partnerships, and families and/or love-friendships. Woven into these narratives are explorations of the roles that religious identities, values, and world views play in the fortification/critique of queer migrant identities. These essays explore assumptions of hetero-normativities, gender role expectations, sexual identities, body configurations, and political practices utilized by individuals and group agency. Rather than considering "queer migrants" as a homogeneous population, this book hopes to expose the diversity of power relationalities, ideological or praxis divergences, and sexual particularities that contour the shape of twenty-first century migrant lives
