Rev Sarah Jones was the first person to be ordained in the Church of England having previously made a
gender change. In 2005 she was outed to the media. The story was covered in newspapers, radio,
television and blogs throughout the world. She ministered in Hereford Diocese for 14 years before becoming the vicar of central Cardiff in 2018 and an honorary Canon of Llandaff Cathedral in 2019.

Sarah Jones is on a UK wide speaking tour: Everyday Normal sessions.
The debate about trans people has become incredibly toxic. The Supreme Court Judgment of April
2025 has had major repercussions for the lives of transpeople in the UK. Each day brings a new
report about trans activists or anti-trans activists. In the Everyday Normal sessions, Sarah explores
the reality of being trans and of being outed as the first person to be ordained by the Church of
England having previously made a gender change. We’ll think about the issues and the concerns of
today and we’ll look to the future to see what that might hold.
We’ll laugh together. We might cry. Everyday Normal is a life-affirming session for people who
would like an entertaining exploration and who would like to understand trans issues for
themselves.
