Dr. Christena Cleveland's book, God Is a Black Woman, is definitely worth a read or three.
Here's a quote from an interview done with Dr. Cleveland on the Queer Theology podcast:
"And so when the Black Madonna says, I'm completely reordering the pecking order per se, it means putting black trans women at top - on the top.
So when I say if God's a black woman, then she must be a black trans woman. Yeah, I was surprised. I, I shouldn't have been because my trans friends have talked to me about TERFs [trans-exclusionary radical feminists], but I was surprised by how many people - TERFs - were really upset that I included black trans women in my discussion of God as a black woman. And it did make me more, more convinced because that, that behavior suggests that TERFs don't think that trans black women are sacred."
